McCain willingly stepped in the doo-doo so many warned would be bad thing to do especially when he rallied around the NY Times as they went against Bush, he’s going to have to come up with something far better than expecting voters to rally around his soiled shoes to clean up his self-made mess.
I’m voting for the troops and their mission even if it means McCain; I’m spending all my money and time rallying around the troops, McCain needs to work harder at rallying votes.
McCain’s war with the NY TImes should have begun years ago, back when the NY TImes leaked national security secrets in order to get Bush.

"this incident is quite likely to get many conservatives to rally around McCain"
Pardon my cynicism but the Grey Whore knew this also. Have they even decided how their vignette will end? Have they even decided on who they will back?

John McCain attacks his base. What more do you need to know about Pinch Sulzberger than he had the story in December and endorsed McCain in January. Pinch must be betting the farm on Obama. There a dozen of better sources and more recent stories pertaining to the Clintons..

The romantic part is just the fluff, the real damaging part of the story is the fact that McCain is using corporate jets of Paxon Communications at the time they have business in front of the FCC, especially when you’ve built a reputation as having "seen the light "after the Keating Five affair. It may not be illegal but it sure is a questionable ethical practice.
At least with incident, the Keating Five incident and the pressure he brought to bear to cover up Cindy McCain’s theft and usage of drugs from her medical charity incident, it’s obvious his ethical lapses are for friends and family, not money.

I had CNN on because of reception issues and watched the McCain news conference and then listened a bit to Bill Bennett who was saying basically the same thing. The times article, with anonymous sources, will help McCain.
