"Keep 'em talking about sex and they'll forget lobbyist/ethics."

OK, I'm quoting myself in Roviavellian mode.

The McCain campaign has to handle a stink. Why not play it off as a tabloid matter? Worse yet, that approach seems to be working, on DU and elsewhere. Much sex, little substance. Beware, beware....

2. And the sex with lobbyists
reminds those pro-Vietnam War Republicans how John McCain betrayed his wife who stayed loyal to him the whole time he was in a Vietnamese prison. John McCain didn't just betray his first wife with a younger, richer woman, he also betrayed all those people who were loyal to the prisoners and MIAs when there was so much anti-war feeling.

7. this hit job was done by the wing of the GOP
that has been in mourning ever since Giuliani dropped out and when Romney suspended HIS campaign they went right over the cliff. Being stuck with McCain is too much for the haters to take

10. It's got their smell
all over it the sultan of swat...can you imagine if either of the dems campaigns came out with this kind of stuff? You would be hearing Buchanan and Matthews REALLY going crazy. Hey you notice how the republicans have made a new rule where sex scandals are now off limits? Of course unless it involved a democrat...
