Early in Senator John McCains first run for the White House eight years ago, waves of anxiety swept through his small circle of advisers.
A female lobbyist had been turning up with him at fund-raisers, in his offices and aboard a clients corporate jet. Convinced the relationship had become romantic, some of his top advisers intervened to protect the candidate from himself instructing staff members to block the womans access, privately warning her away and repeatedly confronting him, several people involved in the campaign said on the condition of anonymity.
When news organizations reported that Mr. McCain had written letters to government regulators on behalf of the lobbyists clients, the former campaign associates said, some aides feared for a time that attention would fall on her involvement.
Mr. McCain, 71, and the lobbyist, Vicki Iseman, 40, both say they never had a romantic relationship.
Uh Oh!
This is Breaking News on MSNBC with Keith Olberman right now.
according to the dems...this sort of thing should just make him seem more virile.
Nevermind..I keep forgetting about the double standard.
So this must mean that the NYT is close to breaking the Obama homo-limosine story?
Funny, did the NYT run a front pager on John Edwards’ little bun in the oven?
Months later, NY TIMES set to launch results of its McCain investigation of senator’s relationships with lobbyists... Developing Late...
PER DRUDGE...
Lou Dobbs is talking about this (and COINCIDENTALLY- Keith Olberman)

A vote against McCain is a vote for Obama and these sleazy left wing bastards.
2004? Not going to get traction.
Rush was right! As soon as he became the heir apparant the news media that previously gushed over him and his views turned on him. And, apparantly, months after the story had been originally finished.
Well duh, of course not! John Edwards is one of them.
Keith probably had to double up on his pantie liners for this one.
We have a country in big trouble, can’t any of these turkeys keep it in their pants and pay attention to business?
NYT, Dobbs, olberboy?? Gee, vast left wing conspiracy, ya think?
So the NYT finally came out with this story...I wonder, why now?
Is this the same thing that the LA Slimes was reportedly sitting on???
Paging Mitt Romney! Line 1!

From her office windows, Vicki Iseman 90 has a great view of Washington, D.C. The Indiana native is one of the youngest people in the lobbying firm of Alcalde and Fay and one of its most senior partners.
This is the Slimes first attempt at discrediting the Republican candidate after endorsing what they thought was the most beatable candidate the Pubbies could put forth. I hope they choke on their words.
Huckabee/Clinton/NYT/Obermann dirty trick.
Well, I’m pretty sure McCain never did cocaine in a limo with a gay lover.
do you have a link for that?
Yes, now John McCain will see, I hope, that the news media is NOT his friend.
So, this is the story the mediaWHORES were sitting on for months, waiting for an opportune time. Shocked? Hell no, nothing shocks me anymore! Move on nothing to see here just another romance....you know like the one bubba had and the mediawhores kept telling us bubba was just sowing his wild oats.

Time to link to the Obama Homo Cocaine video guy.
geez take that tornado cloud somewhere else!
geez you’re quick to throw in the towel
McCain, Rooty, one and the same. Next?
MSNBC reports that the NY Times is reporting that top advisers to McCain have intervened to protect McCain from himself. Both McCain and Iseman deny a romantic relationship.
Man, he sure goes for that dopey blond look.
Hillary...relationship with Huma and Hubbel...
McCain...likes to pretend he's 25....
This is an October surprise in Feb. Think about it, why is this hitting now, and who could it help the most?
(The answer, IMHO, is not Obama....)
MOgirl
Well she is better looking than Larry Sinclair, anyway.
Ask John McCain about his lobbyist "friend" Vicki Iseman. I dare you...
According to the image properties that photo was taken circa Fall 2002.
She looks like his wife?
It’s too bad there were people here on FR who were willing to help.
This is why The New York Times endorsed McCain.
She does

Ah, so this is why the Huckster stayed in the race?
Man stay away from sharp objects tonight...you might hurt yourself....and for gods sakes stay away from bridges...you might throw yourself over the rail.
Maybe Rollins is the guy who put this out there. LOL
What's that supposed to mean? McCain is on suicide watch?
