McCain and the Lobbyist

[lollardfish]

I really don't care whether or not McCain had an affair with the lobbyist. What I care about is the favoritism he showed to her clients in trying to bully the FCC.

That's the scandal here, and I'd really like the media to focus on it, not whether or not there was an affair.

I have a question. Even though they've said that "it's not about the sex, it's about the lying," these are Republicans and it's about the sex. Assuming it has legs, this scandal has the potential of doing serious damage to McCain. Given that it's out now, and not after the convention, is it possible that the Republican establishment is going to ditch McCain in favor of someone else? Did the scandal break too early?

Well apparently the Times was convinced not to run the story in December, before the primaries.
