What Is Bob Beckel Talking About? Update: Fox Link Disappears and Hillary Will Soon Do the Same

I didn't see this and have no idea what context it was said in. I doubt a seasoned political pro like Bob Beckel would latch onto Larry Johnson rumors. Then again, he did run Walter Mondale's campaign.

So what could it be?
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?
My speculation as to what Hillary Clinton will do is she will "suspend" her campaign tonight and step aside for the time being in the hopes Barack Obama will implode, which is entirely likely.

I must say, if a political hit (for lack of a better term) came out tomorrow and exploded on June 5, the irony meter would be off the charts considering the heat Clinton took for her RFK remarks.

Update: For whatever reason that link to Fox no longer is operative. No idea why they yanked it. Anyway, it's probably moot since Hillary is ready to pull the plug.
Hillary Rodham Clinton will concede Tuesday night that Barack Obama has the delegates to secure the Democratic nomination, campaign officials said, effectively ending her bid to be the nation's first female president.

Obama is 40 delegates shy of clinching the nomination, but he is widely expected to make up the difference Tuesday with superdelegate support and votes in South Dakota and Montana. Once he reaches the magic number of 2,118, Clinton will acknowledge that he has secured the necessary delegates to be the nominee.

The former first lady will stop short of formally suspending or ending her race in her speech in New York City.

She will pledge to continue to speak out on issues like health care. But for all intents and purposes, the two senior officials said, the campaign is over.
I doubt at this point she has it in her to pull a fast one. As for speaking out on health care, let's face it, nobody much cares what she has to say about it. Isn't that obvious yet?

Update II: I see the douchebag stalkers are back. They apparently have such empty lives they have enough free time to scour my archives. Happy hunting, pinheads!
