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

girlfriend, wife

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.

Cindy McCain in 2016

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

theyre just friends did not fuk

not particularly close saw her at events etc

"Like my illustrious predecessor Bob Dole, I could not have had sexual relations with that woman."

he should resign why cause it look excitin

his demeanor is pretty impressive this morning im enjoying it

http://www.hillaryclintonisyournewbicycle.com

so assuming this has salience in the campaign because of the wang, which democratic candidate draws the better contrast?

That's a rhetorical question, right?

as if it wasn't known already, Clinton's campaign having serious financial troubles:

January yields debt for HRC, cash for Obama

Hillary Clinton ended January with $7.6 million in debt – not including the $5 million personal loan she gave to her campaign in the run-up to the critical Super Tuesday elections, according to financial reports released Wednesday.

She reported a cash balance of $29 million. But more than $20 million of that is money dedicated to the general election. Her personal loan accounts for more than half of the remaining approximately $9 million, leaving just about $4 million in cash raised from donors.

But even that money is illusionary when measured against the reported $7.6 million in debts.

More than $2 million of the red ink is owed to chief consultant and adviser, Mark Penn.

it mentions that these numbers obviously don't include all the money that's come in since feb. 5, but you get the picture.

"illusionary"?

not "accounted for", because that would be an accurate statement

seriously, it's kind of astonishing how poorly managed clinton's campaign has been (and by contrast how smoothly obama's has been going).

i don't think "illusionary" is a word

for all the talk about the "clinton political machine" etc, she should've had this wrapped up by now
