Obama camp: McCain would be committing "political malpractice" with veep leak tonight

Annoyed by all the mind-games and leaks meant to divert attention from their candidate's long-anticipated acceptance speech tonight, Barack Obama's campaign is hitting back this afternoon and accusing their counterparts of playing poltiical games.

"Tonight would be political malpractice," Obama communications chief Dan Pfeiffer told Politico. "It's one more piece of evidence that the McCain campaign is a war room masquerading as a presidential campaign."

Pfeiffer did, however, call McCain's bluff.

"If they do it, I will pay all of McCain's mortgages next month," he quipped.

McCain, as Pfeiffer well knows, has no mortgages on the numerous properties and he and his wife own.

Matt Drudge is teasing a potential 6 PM leak of McCain's choice on the top of his web page, creating a frenzy of speculation today as most political reporters await Obama's speech later tonight.

McCain is set to roll out his choice at a rally tomorrow in Dayton, Ohio.
