Based on what I've seen since 1992, the best window of opportunity for Dem operatives to drop an electoral bomb that would have its maximum affect on Tuesday is about to open.

Back when Bubba was squaring off against Bush 41 and the little martian, they released an allegation that Bush 41 knew more than he testified to over Iran-Contra. While Clinton may have won anyway, polls were tightening heading into the final weekend. If I recall correctly, the info was released the Thursday before the election.

Back in 2000, George W. Bush had a growing lead heading into the final week. The Thursday before the election, out pops the 25-year old DWI story. Incidentally, the guy up in Maine who was behind that little maneuver was recently arrested for dressing up like Osama Bin Laden and holding what turned out to be a toy gun on a streetcorner.

Why Thursday? Because that's the ideal time to dominate the media with a breaking story that will carry all the way through the weekend news cycle. It's just an MO that I've come to expect over the years. I'm sure the Foley situation was originally supposed to drop around now, but the Dems were worried so they let 'er rip earlier than they had planned.

In any event, if there's something else that they're hiding up their sleeve than the time to expect it would be between noon today and late afternoon Friday.

There very well may be nothing, but my advice would be to keep hitting "refresh" on Drudge until the weekend.

1 The New Haven Register came out today with an article regarding the 387,000 in petty cash Joe Lieberman dished out in the final days before the primary. No we know for sure Joe is a Republican. He's crooked!!!!
