That's pretty thin man....unless they identify who it was from the Obama campaign, or unless Obama says it himself, then it's just more anonymous source bullshit like the crap they're trying to sling at McCain right now....which is also bullshit.
Saying he (McCain) did favors for a lobbyist is fair game, implying that he had an improper romantic relationship because someone who used to work for him (read: was fired) told the NYT that anonymously....is bullshit.

Lenny, I agree they should come out with it, and maybe they will if they continue to get slammed and called liars about the story. But in tonights video they said they got told the story from a high level official in the Canadian embassy which has more weight than what they said last night when they didn't mention their source at all and just said they were told that a high level official in the Obama campaign made the telephone call.
Unless the source comes out to call out the campaign for being liars, then its just going to be fodder as its he said, she said kind of thing. But the fact it was CTV doing the story and not some small city newscast leads credibity to it. And the fact they refused to back down from the story says something too. My point is its just another log in the fire right now. Whether it ends up getting out of control is a fair question. At this point I am not sure. Depends how hard the media and the campaigns push it, and whether or not CTV and their source feels their credibility is getting hit unfairly and wants to come out fully.
