ELECTION 2008: Will any of the Pres. or Veep candidates fall victim to a "Hot Mike" comment?

Settled as Nothing bad is recorded to be said

Will anything spiteful be said about one of these hopefuls prior to election day and will that comment be unknowingly recorded?

WASHINGTON - In a shocking blast at Barack Obama that was caught on tape, the Rev. Jesse Jackson said, "I wanna cut his nuts out."

His whispered comments - accompanied by his hand-miming a cutting motion - were picked up by a live mike before an interview on health care in Fox News Channel's Chicago studio Sunday.

It was not a public speech or a declaration," Jackson said at the news conference, although he admitted his language was "regretfully crude" and "hurtful.

"For any harm or hurt that this hot-mike conversation may have caused, I apologize," Jackson said earlier in a statement.

During the VP debate there's a good chance Palin could have some After-Hours things said about her. Keep your ears tuned.

@dieseldog - I heard that... stuff like this is why Obama's been hiding him from the media lately.

Here's the quote:
"Mark my words", the Democratic vice presidential nominee warned at the second of his two Seattle fundraisers Sunday. "It will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy. The world is looking. Were about to elect a brilliant 47-year-old senator president of the United States of America. Remember I said it standing here if you dont remember anything else I said. Watch, were gonna have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy."

I don't think Barack knew that he was being recorded when he answered Joe the Plumber's question by saying he wanted to "spread the wealth around".
