McCain's campaign is accusing the LA Times of intentionally refusing to release a video that they say could have serious implications on the Obama presidential campaign. The newspaper said it promised a source it would not release the video and the organization intends to keep that promise.
Meanwhile, the paper reported on the tape and its contents back in April of this year in a story about the candidate's ties to Palestinians and Jews when he was getting into Chicago politics.
In the tape, Obama pays tribute to Rashid Khalidi, a scholar and critic of Israel and an advocate for Palestinian rights.
Will this be just enough to twist the winds of this election? Then again, there's always this McCain 1964 car crash rejoinder for those paying attention.
Or, or, or ... do the Republicans have another weapon flying under the radar? Namely, Todd Palin? Apparently the ladies are lovin' Todd, what with his strong-silent-type-ish-ness and his manly (yet modern Mr. Mom) pursuits. Does Todd Palin make you wanna spread your wealth and vote GOP?
Like a crisp white shirt and well-fitting black slacks, the Palin wardrobe story has become a timeless classic. Today's Daily Palin $150K update: Editor and meanie Fred Barnes, who called loyal McCain campaign adviser-turned-Palin-adviser Nicolle Wallace a coward for not admitting SHE'S the mystery couture shopper, recanted late yesterday. He says he got some bad info.
As for Wallace, she says she was more than willing to lie there under the bus, taking full blame for the fiasco. Looks like she won't have to.
Sarah Palin has called on her fellow Alaskan, "Uncle" Ted Stevens, to give up his Senate seat and his campaign for re-election. Stevens was convicted on felony charges this week. Is Palin looking out for Alaska's best interest? If by Alaska, you mean Sarah Palin, then some say the answer is "yes!"
Think McCain is getting hosed in the press? Well aren't you ... correct! A study shows there are more negative stories about McCain. This explains why and it's not what you think.
ABC's asking you not to watch Obama's 30-minute broadcast tonight. Because they missed the deadline to sell the ad space to the Democrat's campaign. But they're acting all haughty about it.
Things are a little icy between McCain and his running mate. Does that explain why Joe the Plumber is out saying stuff like "a vote for Obama is a vote for the death of Israel." Man, that McCain's real good at sussing out experts on international politics!
In a bit of counter-intuitive news: Wall Street had its second-best day ever.
In some "think big picture" good news: the slowing economy and credit crunch means fewer credit card offers junking up your mail box!
Nebraska plays refugee camp to yet another abandoned teen, this time a 15-year-old. Parents of teens have until January to get their kids to a Nebraska hospital, since alarmed legislators have amended the law to include only newborn infants up to three days old.
Finally, the melamine milk contamination disaster in China isn't over. Even worse, they're finding the protein substitute in eggs now too. Just yuck.
