[Parche]

[Arugula Latte]

[babylonsister]

[americanstranger]

6. Really.

[backscatter712]

21. Thirded!

After someone compared McCain to Quagmire last night, I was tempted to gouge out my mind's eye with a melon baller.

It's getting so damned hard to resist temptation...

[JVS]

3. DETAILS?

[mohc]

10. The OP has the words "Sex" and "McCain" together, and you want details?!?!

Seek help!

[tishaLA]

15. he manscapes. want more details?

:puke:

[JVS]

16. ZOMG OH NOES!!!111!1

[ORDem]

4. How about Cindy's stealing opiates from a non-profit medical organization?

... and McCain's deft handling of the fallout so that she didn't do jail time?

:dem:

[Raine]

7. KO has it on RIGHT NOW!!!!

:thumbsup:

[Life Long Dem]

8. Where does this leave Huckabee?

[Renew Deal]

9. Or Romney!

[orleans]

43. this is romney's "i could have had a v8" moment

[OhioChick]

11. Sex.... Scandal....McCain.....

Ugh.....I got a visual. :puke:

[woolldog]

12. Is the girl

good looking? If so it may help his poll numbers. lol

[IsItJustMe]

13. It's coming out on CNN Lou Dobbs also. BREAKING NEWS

Sounds like the New York Times is coming out with an article that will probably be published tomorrow.

It sounds like McCain had some close contacts with a woman, lobbyist (doing favors for her and her corporation may be in question) during his first Senate Candidacy. She apparently had business before his committee at the time and there may be pictures of her in his private jet.


DAMN!!!!

On edit: That old dog.

[MonkeyFunk]

18. Not his first senate run

his first White House run - 8 years ago.

They're not saying it was a sexual affair, though.

[Connie_Corleone]

14. I just turned it on! OH MY GOD!!

WOAH!!

[TwilightGardener]

17. I'll bet Larry Flynt knew about this too.

[Flabbergasted]

19. They both deny the relationship. Unless there is some corroborating evidence this

will go down as a rumor. But it is great timing for Obama.

[tridim]

24. The story says there was a relationship.

Rush, et al will make it stick. They HATE McCain.

[Flabbergasted]

.

[anigbrowl]

38. I really doubt that the NYT would have gone to press with it...

...unless they had adequate evidence to give the story legs. I it was just unsubstantiated gossip they would get so much trouble that it would not be worth it.

Well, well. I had heard there was a big scandal floating around under the public radar that was 'too hot to handle' but I didn't think it would be about McCain.

[Flabbergasted]

40. That's a good point. I wonder who leaked it?

[DemVet]

31. Great timing?

Great timing would be two weeks before the GE.

[Thepricebreaker]

33. Bingo

[Flabbergasted]

36. hmmm. It distracts from the MO "proud" comment.

But otherwise you're right.

[book_worm]

20. It doesn't sound like this will have any legs

both parties deny it unless there is some smoking gun (photos, letters, ect) it's a short lived diversion.

[goodgd_yall]

25. And it was years ago. n/t

[loveangelc]

22. WOW.

[Political Heretic]

28. no, wow is that sig.

I'm just sayin.

[Cha]

23. I don't see anything smokin'..am

I missing something here?

[still_one]

26. What will I tell the children. Maybe they better consider hukabee /nt

[Political Heretic]

27. umm..... wow that's jumping the gun.

Sounds like the times has next to no details and both parties deny it. That's what we call a non-story. :(

I mean, I'd be thrilled and all.... but no, don't think so.

[mrmx9]

29. Mmm - This sort of thing didn't stop Bill Clinton winning 2 terms in office!

[tridim]

34. It stopped Gary Hart. nt

[Political Heretic]

37. In that case, there was art.

No pics, both parties deny it, nothing interesting.

[Thepricebreaker]

30. Sounds like a non story to me.. she is denying it to. n/t

[RL3AO]

35. I don't think this will go anywhere either

[ORDem]

44. Likewise. Unless there are verifiable details, this is a non-starter.

This in fact is probably engineered by McCain's team to get it out of the way long before the GE.

:dem:

[cottonseed]

32. Repubs: Quick start rehydrating Fred Thompson

[Emit]

Can you give a few more details

Not that I want, you know, specifics, but, well, you know -- what's the overview.

[Thepricebreaker]

39. They just made McCain look like a victim of a smear

Any hopes of the base hating him are now gone.. they republicans hate the NYT

[tridim]

42. Repubs hate sex more than they hate the NYT. nt

[zulchzulu]

41. The RNC is going to drop the bomb that McCain't has cancer

They don't want him and they are going to take the victory away just as he is heading to the finish line.

It will either be Jeb Bush, Condi Rice or...DICK CHENEY... it will not be McCain...count on that.

[Arugula Latte]

45. I'd like to see them TRY to run Jeb ...

He would get the living crap kicked out of him. Can you imagine? ... Mr. 19 percent's brother?

[Bryan]

46. This is terrible, for two reasons

1. The damage is controllable from a time standpoint. McCain has time to spin it at least, and the GOP has time to regroup at most. If only this coulda stayed under wraps for another, oh, eight months or so...

2. McCain. Sex. Yikes.
