Better Demo lite than Demo radical!
How many Clinton Judges state department and CIA appointments are we still suffering from?

Well, that’s true. It seems to be all over the news that he’s getting a surge of donations to his campaign, but if you are looking for actual numbers, then I’ll guess we will have to wait.

Wouldn’t surprise me in the least if he is indeed experiencing a jump in donations, though.

Thanks!

Many people haven't heard that there is an election this year, or who any of the candidates are!

You're kidding. Guess I'm running with the wrong crowd. ;)

"...the allegations have not only been scaled down, but are even being used as a fundraiser for McCain among conservatives."

Once, just once, I would like to see a newspaper reporting on democrats say something like, "but are even being used as a fundraiser among liberals." Is that asking so much?

Does anybody but me think the McPinintheass Campaign might have been peddling the story themselves to get the conservative sympathy vote?

Whatever misley bit of respect I did have for this liberal coddler was completely lost with his gang of 14 stunt.

The rinozation of the republican party has got to stop, and if I'm the only one left standing, then so be it!

Question is the timing and who benefits the most in the end? I have my own theory on that.

Maybe we should compare notes. It seems all too convenient that the weak story can now be used to say that it was all a pack of lies from some disgruntled employee and now it won't be discussed anymore. The story wasn't about a "romantic" relationship anymore than the Paula Jones case was about sex (it was about Clinton lying under oath in a sexual harrassment suit). This article was about McCain's relationship with lobbyists. He quickly trotted out his brigade to denounce the "story" and proclaim his "unimpeachable integrity." Now the media runs scared and won't dare mention McCain's deals with Cablevision and the others. And what about all of the McCain/Renzi legislation involving land exchanges--hardly a peep. This was a well orchestrated scam job on the public to play cover for McCain's weaknesses, IMO. The people lose.

I would agree 100% with your opinion, I have been saying it for days. The NYT and McCain were in this one together.

Sad part is that so many have bought into the scam.

The NYT is a seedy outfit, they love liberals and will do whatever it takes to insure one is elected.

It was a brilliant idea. Maybe it was a Bob Bennett idea.

They know conservatives hate the NYT.
