Hate McCain? H E L L O ... who started the ‘hate’ business. I am tired of turning my cheek to lord McCain every time he does not get his way. Strange how some people like to jump in the middle of a clean stream and muddy up the water.
Given that lord McCain got the NYTimes to hold off on this story, you do not even consider that he gave them the ‘green’ light to dump. I do not put ANYTHING past lord McCain and his media whores.

I don’t believe this mularky. There is no evidence. Remember, they accused George H. Bush of having an affair and that was debunked.
And for heaven’s sakes, they accused Nancy Reagan of having an affair with Frank Sinatra - total balderdash!

“Poor Charlie.”
Can you imagine if McCain picked somebody like Charlie Crist, or someone comparable, for VP, and THAT person also became VP, because people who are very, very stupid are allowed to vote.
We could have RINO presidents indefinitely.
Waaaaaaaaaaaaah!!

McCain has always been a tenacious warrior, but ultimately, he falls short as the conservative bellwether. Hopefully, theres some position in the party for him to utilize his talents. He would be a far greater asset as a VP IMO. Every president needs an effective attack dog now and again.

Bob Bennett’s Bill’s brother. He was somebody’s counsel during the Bubba administration. Bill Bennett is the conservative, not Bob.

Early in Senator John McCains first run for the White House eight years ago, waves of anxiety swept through his small circle of advisers. This is an unsubstantiated rumor from eight years ago?
Maybe they are waiting for McCain to deny it so they can bring out the pictures?
Maybe they are trying to goad McCain until he loses his composure.
This is clearly not a news story, it's a brazen hit piece by the most repugnant of news papers.

I fought McCain for twenty-five years. Put me in the same room with him and you will see sparks. I don’t like him personally but as I look to the future and the possible challanges and the qualities needed to meet those challenges, I see those in John McCain. I will eat crow every day he is in the White House but I will not let my personal animosities go against the well-being of the Republic.

McCain campaign response:It is a shame that the New York Times has lowered its standards to engage in a hit and run smear campaign...
They screwed this up from the very first phrase by suggesting that the NYT has standards that could be lowered.
To: counterpunch
McCain must now step aside, and Romney needs to get back in. I see a lot of people speculating on that scenario on this thread.
So it was Romney that leaked it, not Huckabee or oh-so-finally-proud Michelle Obomber?

I think 9 out of 10 republicans agree that McCain is like dog crap on your favorite shoes. This NY slimes article is just a reminder that we stepped in dog crap.
To: OrioleFan
Robert Bennett said on H&C that NYT was pressured by New Republic to run the story. LOL. Robert Bennett: Clinton's attorney in the Lewinsky affair. Perfect. And the brother of McCain pal Bill Bennett, to boot!

...often touted her access to the chairman of the Senate Commerce chairman as she worked on behalf of clients such as Cablevision, Echostar, Tribune Broadcasting and Paxson Communications... Echostar and Cablevision were both big contributors (along with Tides Foundation and George Soros) to McCain's "Reform Institute."

...dems usually attempt to screw the country after promising to do so. And the Republicans after promising not to?
Same end result.

Paxson used to own home shopping network. I think Paxson may be a Floridian. If so, what do you bet he knows Governor Suntan?
