For McCain, self-confidence on ethics has risk

McCain: Reports on lobbyist a "smear"

A sex scandal and an ethics scandal inovlving improper relationships with lobbyists all rolled into one.

My initial reaction after seeing MSNBC coverage was that this scenario spelled doom for McCain. After nosing around it seems that the story is 8 years old and nothing came of it the first time it surfaced. In other words, It is definitely the media beginning to turn the page on McCain now that he is the official GOP front runner. The story will probably divide the conservatives further if anything, and it in my opinion is a clever move by the left to provide a little more insurance for Barack Obama.

McCain can kiss his days of being a "Media Darling" goodbye.

Surprisingly Fox News is paying the story more lipservice than CNN. I suppose it just lends to the theory that the right disdains their own candidate.
