We just Got a Tip...

...that a major newspaper will break a front-page story Monday morning that could create a serious problem for the Kerry campaign. We don't yet have any details, but it relates to a foreign policy issue, and it will call into question--amazingly enough--John Kerry's truthfulness.

We'll watch for the story Sunday night and post it as soon as it becomes available.


No details

Saw that on redstate this morning:

Also read an article that stated the wolves ad was created last spring and it was their best ad in focus group testing and sat it until now. Mort Kondracke said BC04 has another theyve been sitting along the flip flop lines that is suppose to be the most powerful yet with actual footage of Kerry supporting his war votes.

Something's brewing... picked up by INDC Journal too:

Quote:
Cryptic Alert
Speaking of "lies," keep an eye on the front page of the Washington Times this coming Monday.

UPDATE: It's something that the Kerry campaign will be forced to address regarding a previous criticism of Bush's foreign policy. That's all.

I hope it's a charge that sticks and makes national news. The problem is that the story will appear in the Washington Times. I love th paper but the MSM will probably ignore it. The big three never pay attention to the Washington Times. They'll just say a conservative paper raised unproven allegations today. Who knows, they may just ignore it. Remember, they're busy telling everyone that the race is a deadheat.

Washington Times can be problematic. But if it is newsworthy, Fox News will pick it up. And -- again, if it is significant -- that will propel it into the rest of the MSM. They may be in the tank for Kerry, but they also cant resist a hot story.

Unknowns are always a cause for concern. They're worrried about this and I'm worried about Larry Sabato's endorsement prediction.

In his comments section, Bill at indcjournal.com is now managing expectations (he knows the scoop). He characterized it as not huge, but interesting. That doesnt sound like an election altering story to me.

The DNC has so many spies around, I'm sure they know what it is. Perhaps clues will come from any speeches or announcements they make between now and then.

well i said this once before, O'reily alluded to something big last week. he told the Kerry lady that guess he (kerry) will have to change his stragery when the polls take a dive, or words to that affect. She was shocked and nearly had her mouth hanging open. O'reily knows something.
