Mark Halperin (Clinton fan) says in his pagecast today that one of the campaigns has been holding

[jezebel]

back some dirt on another and watch to see if they release it today to create some momentum. Watch his pagecast in the upper right corner.

Since he has in the past broken stories obviously fed to him from the Clinton camp and his use of the word "create" some momentum, it makes me think the Clinton camp is the one who has (or at least thinks they have) dirt on Obama.


ON EDIT: he doesn't use the word dirt. He says holding back some stuff. I might be totally misreading it in my paranoid state.

1. breaking news, Obama has fathered black children

[Pirate Smile]

2. Why would they have waited until now? It makes no sense.

I they had something, they would have already used it. Think about all the early votes in Ohio and Texas.

If they have something then it is either too small to really matter OR it is something which will backlash on them which is why they haven't used it earlier.

IMO - they've got nothing.

22. So that he would not have enough time to respond and correct it. nt

3. Oh yeah, slinging more mud is just what Hillary needs to do.

As if that will help her!

[Laura PourMeADrink]

4. shit. hope you are wrong ! or, if not, that it backfires!

[BeyondGeography]

5. Maybe they'll pounce if Obama loses Rhode Island

:sarcasm:

[TheDoorbellRang]

6. They'll try and figure what hour to release it next Monday

Cuz they know Obama will just knock it down an hour later.

[Obamaniac]

7. Isn't it obvious to people that Clinton doesn't care if she wins anymore

This is all about making sure Obama doesn't win the general election.

Hillary is very much living up to her reputation as being a shrill, self-absorbed woman without the character to be President of the United States.

Either this is a "scorched earth" type strategy, or she's bluffing.

Either way, Hillary is desperate beyond words.

[RaleighNCDUer]

24. I agree completely

but "shrill" is unnecessary. Particularly since it is a surrogate talking.

[ellacott]

8. This sounds like something that Chris Matthews said this morning

It will be interesting to see what they are holding.

[Obamaniac]

9. They've got nothing...

They would have used it.

[ellacott]

10. I believe so also but

They could be holding it for the last minute when he won't have time to refute it. If he is able to refute this it would be a nail in her coffin.

[City Lights]

13. That's what I'm thinking.

They're desperately looking for something that will get them beyond Tuesday. It doesn't matter what it is, or whether it's true.

[AnarchoFreeThinker]

11. "where are the Rezco questions?" that's......it?

[Renew Deal]

12. It's probably this Rezco thing

[Debi]

16. How many questions has Wolfson had to answer about Hsu or Paul lately?

What horseshit.

[City Lights]

18. Where are her tax returns, Howie? eom

[Vinca]

23. Don't you think if there was any "there there" about Rezko,

it would be out already? I don't think Hillary could contain herself if she actually thought she had something. In addition, given the number of reporters who have gone over the Rezko business, a story would have broken by now if there was any problem for Obama. Bottom line, if association was guilt, the Clintons would be in prison.

14. When did DU become the Drudge Report?

[UALRBSofL]

15. This reminds me of the statement Carl Rove made

Several months ago and he said, BUT I CAN"T TELL YOU WHAT IT IS. :)

[oasis]

17. Let's see Obama give a smart ass response to this upcoming bomb.

;-)

[blogslut]

19. Oh, let me guess!

Obama sneezed without covering his mouth.

[TheDebbieDee]

20. If this is the same Halperin that used to work for ABCNews........

then he's a Clinton-hater. I think he also helped produce that ABC 9/11 re-enactment hit-piece movie.

So, if his teaser is tinged with glee, then I'd be willing to bet that the bombshell will be bad for Hillary's campaign.

[jezebel]

21. He used to be a Clinton hater. Not this year. nt

[RaleighNCDUer]

25. There are a lot of Clinton haters that are supporting her.

They know that she can't beat McCain. They don't want him to face real opposition.
