"neither of whom allege that the relationship actually became romantic"
Jesus the New York Times own "source" calls them a liar......
the left never gives a shit about the facts and the damage has already been done....

Who cares whether he had an affair?
Lots of men cheat in America. The rest cheat in Europe.
Sorry, I couldn't miss an opportunity to work that joke in there. Thank you, Jackie Mason.
Seriously, this looks like awfully thin gruel.

Is it actually being proposed that it was an affair? I never really even saw that in the article, just speculation that it could have been romantic, but I thought the real issue was that she was a lobbyist who was hanging around the campaign and that he had pushed for measures that the businesses she represented were seeking, and this is further evidenced by the way they tied it in with his past issues with getting tangled up with lobbyists and special interests.
I didn't see it as a sex scandal. I did see McCain as a hypocrite, and I don't buy the notion that he just happens to keep bumbling himself into these situations unaware.
Is bumbling even a word?

I don't care who politicians have sex with as long as it isn't with minors. The right wing Christians/Family values voters do.
They are Huck supporters so it wouldn't hurt McCain if it were true.
I care about Policy making that may restrict my personal freedoms and take money out of my bank accounts.
Since when are "special legislative favors" a crime in Washington DC? That's what our Political system currently runs on for Pete's sake. If they are going to go after McCain for that, they might as well go after all members of the house and Senate.
The only thing they could have on him, IF they were able to prove any of it true, is that, he reneged on his promise to clean up his personal ethics.
We'll have a better idea of what level of perceptual damage was done anyway in the Texas and Ohio primaries.
Funny joke!!!

Yeah, I think in this day and age the angle would presumably be improper influence if the story was actually true.

Swiftboating: The act of bringing up irrefutable and unpleasant truths during a Presidential campaign. This doesn't seem to be that.
