It happened 8 years ago. Has already been investigated by the dems in the ethics committee and there was no "there" there. The times broke it because they wanted to get the jump on the New Republic. Consider the source and forget it. The Times is a rag like the National inquirer. All innuendo and hints and no on record sources. good job Times. Just making the repubs unite all the more. I'm proud to be American. Glad we shot down the satelite. Good to show Russia and China we have a good defense system. Being able to shoot something going 17,000 mph from rocking ship at sea so far away boggles the mind. Great technology and Military. Thank you Ronald Reagan the greatest president in our life time.

John McCain is a conservative and so people believe that he can not do wrong things. Wait a minute this his second marriage, isn't it? This very news paper endorsed him few weeks ago. Were they promoting him to demote today? Let us wait and see what the facts are behind this story that could have suffaced early to put a dent to McCain presidential ambitions instead coming after he almost secured the republican nomination.

If this had been made public earlier, it certainly would have affected the race. Since the NYT endorsed McCain, and then chose to hold this until he cinched the nomination should be investigated. There are going to be a lot of conservatives asking this question. This only helps McCain now, but shouldn't this have been brought to light before Super Tuesday so that the voters had a chance to determine if they really wanted to take a chance on this guy? Maybe conservatives should be wondering now if this was meant to help McCain with the conservatives now. McCain had the backing of the NYT but since they are considered a liberal media McCain surely was smart enough to convince them to hold the article and he could use it to get the conservatives to back him.
