Yesterday I was worried that leaking McCain’s VP during Obama’s acceptance speech:
seems such an obvious dirty trick that even the average voter is going to see through it, quite possibly with resultant distaste for the Republican machine. Certainly, it gives the Dems plenty of opportunity to hammer home their current key line, that McCain represents the continuation of the “nasty” Bush-Rove era. Crashing other people’s press parties is the type of thing Washington politicians do, and McCain has been fighting hard to demonstrate that he’s just as much of an innocent outsider as Saint Obama.
So instead, this is much, much more classy. And it’s still a way to gatecrash the coverage, as Marc Ambinder points out in his twitter from the convention.
