2008 Primaries Thread 2: THE QUICKENING

So anyway, McCain fucked a lobbyist and called in a few favors for her:

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/02/21/us/politics/21mccain.html?hp

Or, you know, such is the implication.

The plot thickens.

Learning the full details of the Keating Five story was a treat, but the charges of infidelity seem insubstantial, despite the presence of, according to the NYT, two sources.

couldn't find any pics of Carol Mccain but lolblondefetish anyway.

anytime anyone says "the plot thickens" i think of matthew lilliard's awkward delivery of same in 'hackers'

this 'scandal' is a nonevent

does anybody have a link or can maybe gimme a rundown re: this "obama pledged to use public finance then didn't" or somesuch stuff

this 'scandal' is a nonevent

^^^^ This. STOP GETTING MY HOPES UP, NYT AND WASH. POST.

it's just the times treatment. it's so nyt to be like "ok here's the sex scandal for 2008 -- wait, read three pages about ethics, first."

this is a real scandal - mccain fucked a lobbyist!

MCain says it's a smear campaign - I don't think using gynecological terms at this time is a very good idea, John.

In 2000 I always had this idea that Gore should show up somewhere in a cowboy hat, just audaciously challenging Bush. I guess the idea wasn't as far-fetched as I had thought.

obama in cowboy hat is a total badass, gore in same probably would be lame

like a fatted pig wearing an ascot

blazing saddles lol

would work if he had a beard and a bolo tie, tho.

Also, he was still around his fighting weight back then.

So none of the other states were important, it's all Ohio and Texas: http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/Vote2008/story?id=4318311&page=1

"If she wins Texas and Ohio I think she will be the nominee. If you don't deliver for her, I don't think she can be. It's all on you," the former president told the audience at the beginning of his speech.

From this article, by the way: McCain failed to gather enough signatures to be on the ballot in a very republican district in Indiana

Has McCain wagged his finger and said "I did not have sexual relations with that woman" yet?

no in fact all hes said is yr sliming me dudes - which is a compelling non-denial in itself.

Has McCain wagged his finger and said "I did not have sexual relations with that woman" yet?

Depends on what is is.

It's a vast left-wing conspiracy.

And he can't get it up far enou - wait, that's his arms, innit? Nevermind.

If the affair is true, and verifiably so, then kudos to the NYT for sitting on it until McCain had pretty much wrapped up the nomination.

apparently they were gonna run it in december but mccain lawyered up and started giving them shit

Romney must be kicking himself

l o l

But unless there's a Linda Tripp in the mix somewhere, McCain should weather this fairly easily. I mean, if he denies it and she denies it, how can anyone prove it?

John McCain is holding a press conference at 9 a.m. ET.

aka right now

hes v disappointed in the nytimes piece its not true
