What's This "Internal Memo" MSNBC Keeps Talking About That Andrea Mitchell Got From McCain......
campaign? Is this just a ruse to make us think that the race is close or is there any validity to it?

Was this something that Andrea Mitchell sneaked out of the campaign or is this a memo that the campaign leaked to all of the news media outlets?

3. One of their talking heads told Shuster that it was a better memo than to say
that all was lost and that it was meant to get the press to talk about it with this spin on it.

I think it's junk myself.

4. The campaign released it
It says that McCain's polling is good and he will win... blah blah..

Earlier today Chris Matthews said " they would say that, wouldn't they?"
and then said in so many words.. it's garbage

9. I had to laugh when I heard their "3-tiered strategy" this morning.
First - they are confident they can win with the typical red states. But if that doesn't happen....

Second - they pick of PA. If that doesn't happen....

Third - they put together a pool of smaller states to reach 270. States like NH, Iowa, etc.

:rofl:

:hi:

7. Shuster said that the McCain camp released it publicly to the media
Just gives the idiots in the media something to talk about in hopes of retaining their horse race.

10. I'm still wondering why "news" organizations report squawking-point campaign memos
as news. :eyes:

How much are they paying Mrs. Greenspan to read faxes? Whatever it is, it's too much.
