Only until he gets the nomination. As soon as he is the nominee, they will take him down with his participation in the Savings and Loan scandals in the 80's. McCain barely avoided indictment and his participation was as smelly as it gets. McCain, Paul and Huckabee are safe candidates for the Old Media. None of them can possibly win. So they get all the positive press during the primaries.
I don’t see that happening. There was an investigation, an official exhoneration, a slap on the wrist, and McCain has come clean on it. Years ago - old news.

Good points, but you have to understand what McCain has done to innoculate himself and overcome that scandal - he became a ‘reformer’. This is why the media loves him. McCain has been doing 20 years of penance for his Charles Keating sins by engaging in liberal reform policies, like CFR, like CO2, like immigration.
Nevertheless, dont underestimate the MSM’s ability to make a mountain out of a molehill.
