These stories about 2000 seem to be an underhanded mehtod of RE-invigorating this lie that had no effect in 2000.
McCain was the Democrats choice. In 2004 he almost crossed parties. In 2006 Dean staffers started getting behind McCain2008. Crossover Democrats gave us McCain as the GOP nominee. But as uncomfortable as we may be with his liberalism, he is to the right of Obama on virtually every issue. This "ethics" rumor about a bastard child is a smear. the kind of smears that the Obama camp would never admit to using. But someone is spreading it in 2008. Wonder who. My bet is on the same people who ran a campaign against a "culture of (sexual) corruption" in the GOP back in 2006. Pelosi-Reid-Dean's Democrat Party playing the politics of personal destruction AGAIN.
Now THAT would be a shocker. NOT!
