According to Politico:
McCain camp making news in the morning
On what, they won’t say.
"We’ll have something to talk about," is all a campaign aide would allow.
I’m going to go out on a limb here and suggest that they’ll start announcing prospective cabinet choices (Giulianni for AG, Romney at OMB, possibly Meg Whitman, etc. etc.). Since they can’t close the deal with McCain/Bible Spice, they’re going to package them up in a big bundle like so many sub-prime mortgages to create the illusion of value.
This has been floating around for a few days now.
I wouldn’t bet the house on it but then, the value of the house is probably underwater so what the hell…

Every time he brings up Whitman I see thousands of eBay sellers voting for someone, anyone else. They mostly hate her. Which McCain, of course, does not realize.
I predict they’re going to reverse the ticket so Palin can run for Prez directly, though they’ll spoil the effect when McCain introduces the idea by saying “Now it’s Sarah’s turn to be on top!!!!”
my guess is that McCain is going jump over 14 garbage cans in the back parking lot of Arnold’s Drive In
“Bible Spice”.
Brilliant!!
I am pretty sure the news tomorrow will be that McCain has leveled up to a Colonel in the XBOX 360 version of Call Of Duty 4 and that we need not worry cause he ain’t no fucking camper.
Sorry….I just got done playing some Lego Batman with my 6 year old and I got a little excited.
Your list didn’t include Joe Lieberman, now where do you suppose old Joe will be in the cabinet, seeing as he doesn’t have a place in the senate pecking order anymore after this campaign? My limb says he will suspend the campaign for the good of America. (We could only wish)
Rumor has it, it’s somethin’ to do with Obama’s birth certificate.
Maybe it says “Muslim”!!!!!
My guess is there’s something McCain wants us to know about Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran, or bin Laden. Or Palin wants us to know about Russia.
Something really scary. So scary we won’t care that we don’t have jobs and homes and food and such.

Kay eye ess ess eye en (no gee, she’s a Palin)
First comes love, then comes…wait…
Grandpa Krusty gives a shotgun marriage!
Then comes baby in a baby carriage!
I betcha.
Wouldn’t it be illegal to announce cabinet appointments before being, you know, elected, as it would be promising jobs to people arguably in exchange for their support?
The Moran Brigade is still pimping the voter fraud issue,and it’s led to ACORN being investigated all over the country. I’m guessing this is their big news.
McCain appears on national television holding a gun to his own head: “Either Obama concedes now or the old guy get’s it!”
Palin: “He means it, you betcha!”
REZKO!
There’s no doubt they’re going to examine this issue in depth, but I think it will preview with a big flourish on Hannity, Limbaugh, and the rest of the wing nuttery before Gov. Barracuda steps up to the mike. But stay tuned, it’s coming.
My fear is that if none of this (BO is a terrorist, he disrespected the troops, Rezko) changes the poll trajection, we may be experiencing a REAL October surprise: invasion of a country, terrorist attack, whatever. The repubs are not not going down easy, and a desperate repub is a very scary thing.
Maybe he’ll announce that he’s shared the secret of getting bin Laden with Secy. Gates!
Steve Benen over at Washington Monthly is reporting that the “news” is that McCain is releasing a 90 second web ad which attacks Obama for knowing Bill Ayers. In other “news”; sky:blue, grass:green, water:wet.
Maybe that’s what passes for an “October Surprise” in Krusty-land. They’ve reached such a pathetic level that it’s not even fun (well, okay, yes it is) anymore.
Actually, the McCain camp was jerking their lapdogs’ chains:
The “big news” was Yet Another Ayres Ad, and since the McCain campaign’s trying to save their money (since they apparently figure that they won’t be able to get away with breaking public-campaign-finance laws like they did in the primary), they’re trying to get the networks to run it for free under the guise of “news”.
Giuliani AG should reduce the vote of NYC to less than one pct.
Whatever it is, I bet people will start designing cities around it.
This approach worked with the Segway, right?
Naawww. He will water-skiing & jump over a shark!
Caribou Barbie’s dresses are going to start get shorter and her neckline will start dropping. Bet me.
Burt Prelutsky was on 560 KSFO this morning with Lee Rogers (the not-fired partner of Melanie Morgan), pushing the idea that McFail should cancel the third debate, rent an hour (!) of network TV time*, and introduce his cabinet. Mrs Baggins and I were like kids on XMas morning, getting more and more delighted as Burt laid out his ideers:
Rudy 9iu11iani as AG!
Mitt Romney as Secty of Treasury!!
Joe Lieberman as Secty of Defense!!!
Newt Gingrich as Secty of State!!1!one!
omfg, we couldn’t stop laughing. Yeah, Burt, bring it on. Let’s see the full cavalcade of douchenozzles who won’t be moving into their new offices on January 20.
* Isn’t that like $20M? And a network is going to preempt their fall lineup to present Grampy McSame’s Ideers for Our Future Variety Special?
Well, they’ve shot that particular wad; now, even if they have a “real” October Surprise, no one will care.
