And, here it comes ...

From FoxNews.com:

Were you watching at 6:25 when Democratic strategist Bob Beckel dropped a bomb on us? He said he’d heard through his political pipeline that a big shoe was about to drop on the Obama campaign. It has something to do with Michelle Obama. Beckel wouldn’t say anything more other than this explosive story may happen tomorrow. Do you think the GOP has something up its sleeve that could blow up Obama’s campaign? If so, when do you think they’ll unleash it?

Democrat strategist (and Obama supporter) Bob Beckel confirmed that 'a mighty big shoe' was set to drop on Michelle Obama as early as tomorrow. He said it was 'significantly' bigger than her thesis paper. (Video HERE via Hot Air)

Is it the long-rumored 'whitey' video, or some entirely new revelation? It sounds like we'll find out soon ...

Here's my upfront analysis: If it is the 'whitey' video, and the GOP unleashes it now, they're morons.

There were rumors circulating this morning that, following the primary results tonight, Hillary was prepared to announced that Obama had secured the nomination and that she was suspending her campaign (rumors that Terry McAuliffe quickly denied).

However, simply suspending her campaign doesn't mean that Obama is the nominee.

He won't officially be the nominee until the superdelegates cast their votes in Denver in August. And, if Obama's blasted with these new revelations, she can simply woo the fleeing superdelegates to her side and then McCain faces someone who may, frankly, actually present a challenge.

From a political standpoint, the GOP would be much better off waiting until the day after the Democrat convention when Obama has sewn up the nomination.
