Newsbusters just reported a story regarding Martin Eisenstadt a supposed McCain campaign advisor that 'leaked' the story to Carl Cameron about Sarah Palin.
Problem is: Martin Eisenstadt doesn't exist or if he does exist he isn't on McCain's campaign team.
The story is a hoax unless we find concrete proof he does exist.
Newsbusters shouldn't feel too bad, the LA Times was burned earlier this summer by this 'guy'.

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) ― Pittsburgh police are investigating after a volunteer for the Republican campaign says she was attacked by a mugger who became enraged after seeing a John McCain bumper sticker on her car last night.
According to police, the 20-year-old woman said she was robbed at an ATM at the corner of Liberty Avenue and Pearl Street in the Bloomfield area around 9pm Wednesday after leaving a Republican phone bank.
The woman told police that the suspect, described only as a dark-skinned African-American man about 6'4", stole $60 from her and became enraged after seeing a bumper sticker supporting Republican Presidential Candidate John McCain on her car. The woman said the suspect punched and kicked her before knocking her the ground.
(NASHVILLE, TENN.) - After most of the previous 12 months covering Barack Obama's campaign for the presidency, it was interesting, instructive and, well, relaxing to follow John McCain for the last few days. The differences between the two are striking.
Obama is the big time orator, McCain is the guy who struggles with a teleprompter or even note cards strategically placed nearby. Obama's crowds are larger, more enthusiastic. McCain's events are smaller, but to my eye, better choreographed. And now with the addition of Sarah Palin to some of his events, McCain can boast of crowds that match Obama's in energy.
Interesting article regarding the press corps travels with the Obama and McCain campaigns.
