Penn in December 2007 on Plan for Two-Way Race Against Obama: "Release the Tapes" (Jake Tapper, August 11, 2008, ABC: Political Punch)

[P]laying out a number of scenarios, Penn writes that if they come out of Iowa and it's a two-way race with Obama, "on Friday we do a media interviews (sic) and basically say that he is unvetted, discuss his ever-changing positions. Release the tapes. Create immediate pressure that deprives him of oxygen.'

If there are tapes --of either Obama saying anything even mildly similar to the Reverend Wright -- it's important that they not come out until after the convention roll call.
