This is definitely worth mocking

Drudge is pushing a rumor that McCain will leak his VP choice just before Barack Obama's speech tonight. If true, it would be an obviously classless act, but I love the way Obama campaign communications chief Dan Pfeiffer is "presponding":

"It's one more piece of evidence that the McCain campaign is a war room masquerading as a presidential campaign."

Pfeiffer did, however, call McCain's bluff.

"If they do it, I will pay all of McCain's mortgages next month," he quipped.

McCain, as Pfeiffer well knows, has no mortgages on the numerous properties and he and his wife own.

By the way, if the speculation that McCain is picking Mitt Romney is true, it'll take the edge off my ire. Those guys alone probably have a combined net worth larger than that of everybody sitting in the upper deck at Invesco Field tonight. Update: Reading tea leaves here, but the fact that Romney and Ridge will be going to a rally with McCain on Saturday tells me that Romney isn't the guy. Tim Pawlenty or Kay Bailey Hutchinson are probably more likely. Update 2: Not KBH.
