I disagree that they've already been out there. Her drug addiction and stealing drugs never really surfaced in 2000 because the Bush campaign used the "illegitimate child" angle as the main sliming story during that campaign, and then the nomination was over.
And then McCain's use of Cindy's private jet to campaign (in contravention of campaign finance rules) is new to this cycle, so it may see the light of day, especially if the McCain camp keeps on harping on Obama's campaign finance "flip-flop".
Having said that, it'll probably be Democratic 527s that do these particular attacks, not the Obama campaign itself. Likewise for GOP attacks on Michelle Obama.
