Kicking McCain When He's Down

Suddenly, Drudge has sophisticated image capturing software and a detailed obsession with the nooks and blemishes on Sen. John McCain's head? Nah. This is a tasteless bit of oppo sent Drudge's way by an overconfident opponent of McCain's who wants to exploit McCain's vulnerable political status right now by forcing the campaign to answer questions about his age and health. Every major Dem and GOP campaign takes careful stock of McCain's health, so they're all suspects. Many Dem campaigns still believe that McCain will be the toughest Republican for them to beat. We're not accusing anyone -- we're just accusing someone. Just not sure who.

So who is spreading the info? It has to be from republican and probably the person who most benefits from McCain's problem would be either Romney or Thomson. If Drudge had received this info from a democratic campaign then he would have definitely reported it to malign that democrat.

The Romney campaign is the one most likely sending this stuff to Drudge. There is a good friend of Drudge who works for Romney.
