McCain Sex Scandal: The Good News and the Better News
The good news is, McCain most likely won't win the nomination outright. MAYBE he will, but now it's in jeopardy. The better news, is that it's going to prolong the GOP nomination process, likely right up to the convention. Huckabee is going to have SOOO MUCH AMMO on this that I could see him preventing McCain getting the 200 delegates he needs to win. This could have huge ramifications for the GOP.

I simply. can't. wait.

2. Righto. Te Puggies themselves will keep this one alive.
Good thing, too, 'cause the Dems have no scumbag instincts and would let it drop.

13. Story in the NYT about McCain having an affair with a lobbyist
And supporting some of her clients positions. Drudge has picked it up too. The right wing is going into overdrive right now.

6. The freepers seem to be of three minds,,,
1. It's not true
2. It's not a big deal because Bill and Monica were worse (thus the freeps are entirely missing the lobbyist angle)
3. Good, now they can choose a true conservative instead...
:eyes:

(Who knew they even had 2 minds?)

12. Don't hold your breath...
If bush's cocaine and drinking didn't keep him out of the WH then McCain's fooling around won't make a difference either.

14. i don't think it is just a matter of "fooling around"
i think it might also have to do with the clients she represented (tv/radio broadcasting clients), and the fact that he was sitting on the commerce committee which oversees the fcc
