I don’t like McCain, but I hate the NY slimes. This is good news!

[kjo]

Still won’t vote for him. He’s Democrat Lite.

[sirchtruth]

The feeling among a growing number of Republicans skeptical about McCain, is that if the New York Times is so intent on wrecking his chances to be president, he can't be all bad. Maybe even worth supporting.

I want to know two things.

1:Why THIS story?
2:Why release it now?

This conservative will never support, nor vote for McPainintheass, ever. What part of fantasy land is this author from?

There’s no basis for the title. Campaign’s attempt to get contributions based on the NYT story does not necessarily mean that the story has caused a flood of contributions or any at all. We’ll know that when contributions are reported sometime in the future unless the campaign lets it be known sooner.
So far I don’t think the campaign has said anything in that regard one way or the other. The story broke only about two days ago after all.

Glenn Beck was saying this last Thursday. I don’t agree. Many people have their minds made up already, the NY Times article didn’t make a difference one way or the other, IMO.

So far Hillary has spent about $106 million "on a campaign that is spluttering."

Just think what she could do if she got a hold on the federal budget!

an honourable journalistic career

Like he was always a straight arrow before.

The NYT did McCain a favor. Question is the timing and who benefits the most in the end?

I have my own theory on that.

[ops33]

For a newspaper to criticize another paper over inaccuracies then you would think they could get their story correct. President Bush served in the Texas Air National Guard, not the National Reserve.

It's put-up or shut-up time for the Times...

What the New York Times seems not to understand is that every day is "put-up or shut-up" - every article too. Credibility is easy to throw away...

[modhom]

"...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?
