Chuck Todd dropped a little bombshell earlier today during some cross-talk with Ron Allen, but unfortunately couldn't elaborate because he had to cut away for the soap opera photo op with John McCain and Bristol Palin's beau. Here's the transcript:
CHUCK TODD: Well Ron, We've been able to see that there are a few folks who are saying she's actually going to hole up in Alaska for a little, she's got to see her son off who's going to be deployed to Iraq, so we may not see her on the campaign trail for a little while.
RON ALLEN: Yes she hasn't been home for a long time, and she's obviously got some business to deal with there.
Perhaps Romney ought to dust off his mittens? And not to get too conspiratorial, but Mike Murphy (of the open mic mind moment, which also involved Chuck Todd) is a former Romney operative. Might he have been Chuck's source?
