McCain may have had a relationship with some woman in 2000 campaign. . . . this looks like a set up to me. They had this story since December. . . They have a bunch of anonymous sources (two people from eight years ago) that may have seen some things and then again they may not have but they think they may have possible seen. . . . the New York Times is really reaching with this one. They have so little facts on this one why did it get so much press? This story seems to be about helping the Democrats by spreading rumors around that don’t have any real facts to back them. Heck, the NYT even endorsed him while they were sitting on this. . . they trying to make it news by pumping him up before they run it?
I don’t like McCain but I really don’t like the look of the medal playing games with our elections. . . . they had endorsed him not to long ago then they now go and publish this story that is not much more than gossip.
I think the media is showing its true colors . . . that we can no longer trust what we read in the news because they gave up on the truth years ago - now they are more interested in pushing an agenda like Dan Rather was than actually getting the facts. If this was an attempt to damage McCain why did they do it now (again, they have had it since December)? They should have left this alone until he was chosen by the party and the Republicans were committed to him, that would have been the most damaging time to release this kind of news/BS. Was someone else going to publish it on them? Did they think they would save money for the Dems doing the damage now? If no one else had this story would they have held it forever or just until it got close to the November elections. . . . I think the talk shows are right, something does smell here.
Should this be show to be a deliberate attempt to mess with our election process I hope they are forced to pay for it. On the other side, if it is true I hope they hang McCain out to dry and the Republicans bring back Romney (who did not quit, he suspended his campaign) at the convention so we will have the chance at not only a conservative but a brilliant business man taking charge of this mess and fixing DC. As they say the truth is out there. . . . question is can we find it and will the voters actually care when they find it?

How do you feel that this scandal helps the Democrats? McCain is using it to raise funds.
It would have been helpful to the Democrats if they had a candidate and were not in the whole primary part of the election still.
However, as it stands, this scandal takes away from media focus on Democratic debate #967 tonight.
this helps them by getting then news media and talk radio focused on something other than Obama and his wife's comments
it also may cost McCain votes in the long run if the conservatives believe the story. Fortunately it looks like it may hurt the NYT more. . . they better come up with some facts to back it or this will show what they are really up to.
I really have to agree with you. I am completely disgusted with the media by now and no longer know what to believe. ugh!
