TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) -- John McCain denied a romantic relationship with a female telecommunications lobbyist on Thursday and said a report by The New York Times suggesting favoritism for her clients is "not true."
"I'm very disappointed in the article. It's not true," the likely Republican presidential nominee said as his wife, Cindy, stood alongside him during a news conference called to address the matter.
McCain described the woman in question, lobbyist Vicki Iseman, as a friend.
The newspaper quoted anonymous aides as saying they had urged McCain and Iseman to stay away from each other prior to his failed presidential campaign in 2000. In its own follow-up story, The Washington Post quoted longtime aide John Weaver, who split with McCain last year, as saying he met with lobbyist Iseman and urged her to steer clear of McCain.

“Why not, I am all for getting Romney back in.
He was the one. Media hates him, because they knew he was the smartest candidate.” And squeeky clean.
What I get out of this whole story is that McCain actually thought that the NY Times was trustworthy, and that they endorsed him because they thought he was the best candidate.
How crazy must you be to think that!?
Amen.
The Conservative Cause lost because the Conservative vote was split between Romney and Huckabee. Had Either of them not been running, the other would be the nominee.
I’m not a whiner. To be honest with you, most of them sucked in my opinion. The only two I liked was Duncan Hunter and Fred Thompson. Duncan just didn’t have the bucks because he wasn’t born into money nor had he been running for President all his life. As for Fred Thompson, poor Fred just didn’t seem to have the energy.
But, I will support McCain in the GE. I’m not like these dufus brains who will stay home or vote Third Party on Election Day. They did that in ‘92 and gave us the Clintons for the rest of our lives.
