Wow. The McCain corruption/affair story exploded overnight. By the time I got to work this morning, my email was full of updates and comments. Watching “Morning Joe” at the house, it became apparent there are two stories involved – the allegation of an affair AND the allegations of corruption. Driving in to work, I was listening to McCain’s news conference on CNN (I love Sirius satellite radio!!) – seemed to be a lot of hemming and hawwing going on. He sounded even less animated than usual. Let’s kick things off with a short collection of links to various posts on the McCain story. Oh, the earthquake? 6.3 in NE Arizona. Big one.

I suppose it’s understandable that Scarborough would be particularly sensitive about [...]
McCain relationship with lobbyist rocks presidential campaign
A few months ago, just a few days before Christmas, Drudge reported that the New York Times was poised to publish a “high-impact report” involving John McCain and “key telecom legislation.” There were very few details, but McCain had reportedly already hired an attorney to deal with the controversy, while the senator and his campaign [...]
McCain: Experienced in the ways of Washington lobbyists
John McCain yesterday said “I’m not the youngest candidate, but I’m the most experienced.” True enough, but from the very start of his Congressional career McCain’s experience has involved chasing after lobbyists’ money. In the case of Vicki Iseman at least, it may also have meant [...]
