On "Meet the Press," Andrea Mitchell passed along an unsubstantiated and anonymous charge from Team Obama that John McCain cheated in the Saddleback forum:
The Obama people must feel that he didn't do quite as well as they might have wanted to in that context, because that -- what they're putting out privately is that McCain may not have been in the cone of silence and may have had some ability to overhear what the questions were to Obama.Obviously, no mere mortal could outperform Obama in a debate, and therefore there is no need to offer evidence in support of this anonymous assertion, or to seek a response from the McCain campaign.
