I get the impression that McCain thought they really liked him. It’s only my impression, but he should have learned that lesson long ago.

McCain Senior Adviser Responds to Times Story (Says it is all Nonsense)
***********************EXCERPT*******************
Mark Salter, John McCain's obstreperous senior aide, just responded to Time's query about the New York Times's long-simmering McCain-mixed-up-with-lobbyists story.
Speaking from a parking garage in Toledo, where the campaign is overnighting, Salter vehemently denied any improper relationship between the lobbyist singled out in the piece and the senator. He also attempted to cast doubt on both the story and the newspaper's reasons for running it. The bulk of the story's more titillating accusations, he said, stemmed from "two blind quotes....Are these the standards of the New York Times? No. They are the standards of the National Enquirer."
Actually they are the standards of the NY Times when it comes to Republicans. The Enquirer has slightly higher standards.
It will be interesting to see how this plays out.
Hey, it’s good that it’s early. Then it can be forgotten.
It`s all over for Hillary, and now it`s all over for McCain. The media won`t let up and will force McCain to concentrate on this all the way to November. Best get ready for a Mr. Empty Suit (Obama) President.
This is just the start of it. McCain’s romance with the MSM is about to end. No one should be surprised. Since before 2000 the media realized that in McCain they had someone they could use to hurt Bush and Republicans. The payoff for McCain was all the attention and free publicity that finally got him to where he is now. Even McCain had to know that he was going to get stabbed in the back as surely as he has been stabbing Republicans in the back. That’s politics. McCain’s crew has had more than eight years to figure out how to deal with this. Let’s see how good they are.
As the most liberal republican candidate Johnny Mc was happy to be in bed with the liberal media when they used each other to knock out conservatives in the primaries.
Now he is being used to help knock out the challenger to the most liberal democrat. He should just lay back and enjoy it.
Maybe he thought they really liked him this time.
This should clear up that little misunderstanding.
If they are throwing this old dirt this early in the game it means they have stronger stuff they are holding on to for release at the most opportune time.
He can twist in the wind for all I care.
.
McCain will wind up making the GOP wish for the good old days when Bob Dole was its candidate.
Bet the FBI is already all over this because of the funding.
Certain to come out about influence peddling.
I wonder to which affair they are alluding?
Amen on the pun. LOL!
Bend over and grab your ankles. . .
You ain't seen nothing yet! ! ! !
McCain has plenty of baggage to fuel the NYSlimes—and every other paper in the country!
They are holding the juicy POW stuff until Nov 6th
32 year old “hottie” has major crush on the elder McCain - sex sells --- at least with a significant percent of the voting shepple
