You can argue that...

After the tête–à–tête between the two candidates and Pastor Rick at the Saddleback megachurch last Saturday, I felt that Senator McCain has given the greatest performance of this electoral season; Obama had been too nuanced  and appeared less spirited in comparison.

Pastor Rick had stressed that even though the two Senators will be interviewed separately, and the latter would not be privy to the questions; he will be in a 'cone of silence'. Fair enough. 

On 'Meet the Press' last Sunday, Andrea Mitchell postulated that it was possible that Senator McCain could have overheard Obama, because he went before the presumptive Republican nominee. 

If this is true, 'my friends', it is we who got Saddlebacked.

Mitchell's statements drew an immediate response from McCain's Campaign. He wasn't even there, they claimed, but was enroute to the Church in a motorcade during the first half of the interview. Later, he was holed up in a greenroom at Saddleback, where there was no live [TV] feed.

Although the Campaign denies it, you can argue that Senator McCain could have:

• heard the interview over the radio or even on TV on the limo he was traveling
  
• been informed by SMS or email on his Blackberry in the car or in the greenroom. The SMS/email is possible because Lindsey  Graham and Cidy McCain were in the audience. Or they could have called McCain's cellphone and just left it on.

I don't know if any of this this happen, but it does cast doubt.

If true, it is intolerable, Agent Pastor Rick.
