My guess would be that this is just a taste of what is to come when he officially becomes the “nominee.”
McCain does not consider the state of his fidelity to his wife to be part of the public trust.
he is for all intents and purposes...why now instead of right before november? The story is something that allegedly 8 years ago.
Weird how Cindy stayed by his side like a nurse making sure the poor guy would not fall. I saw her recently help McCain off the airplane. Her smiling was also odd and heavy makeup more suited for a cocktail waitress.
There is a buzz about how the meeting ended and they left. I am not sure what that is about since I did not see it but just clips.
>>In a twist, however, there were early signs that the brouhaha might actually help McCain solidify the GOP base. <<
Psychology is an interesting thing. When I first digested this story I told my wife this is the sort of thing that just may make me actually go to the polls and vote for him.
But I still won’t.
I find it interesting that it had that initial impact on me though.
You should see all the stories on web sites like the Daily KOS about Cindy McCain’s drug problem.
It’s ironic that the lobbyist problem was twisted to cause a problem for McCain with the evangelicals because McCain manipulated the evangelicals to take down Mitt Romney. The problem with the lobbyist had nothing to do with romance and everything to do campaign donations and quid pro quos.
But back to the evangelicals. All the efforts to destroy Romney’s over religion and abortion were spear headed through a PAC which was financed by a close friend of John McCain. McCain knew from experience that the evangelicals could be a problem for him, so he stirred them up against his biggest competition. Who knows, they could have been behind the personal attacks on Giuliani, too. The money man was Carl Lindner, a member of the Keating 5. Huckabee kept declaring that he had nothing to do with attack ads and had asked the group to stop them, but they refused. No one believed him. It was true, it was John McCain’s campaign that was behind the attacks. I think this why Huckabee refuses to get out of the campaign, he realizes that he was used.
