Posted at 10:00am on Feb. 21, 2008 McCain to address NYT smear at 9:00 a.m.
By Alexham
Now that Senator McCain has the GOP nomination firmly in hand, the NYT "rathers" him with baseless accusations about a personal relationship he had with a lobbyist around the time of the 2000 presidential election cycle. In a nutshell, the NYT is claiming that, because of this allegedly improper relationship, McCain sought favors on behalf of this woman's clients. You can read the NYT article for yourself, and draw your own conclusions; but my opinion is that this is a good old-fashioned smear job. And I suspect most folks will view it that way as well.
In any event, McCain will address the allegations this morning at 9:00 a.m.
Consider this an open thread.
Update: I really like Cindy McCain. What a class act. She may just be the good senator's greatest asset.
