Fascinating look at the inner workings of the McCain universe. I was wondering myself what anonymous sources could have possibly had that kind of access to him in 1999.

No. Thanks just the same.

I see David Brooks has joined the Slimes’ full court press against McCain. The NYT corrupts absolutely. I wonder how long until Kristol starts supporting Obama.

The GOP needs a big wake up call...I will decide in November but Mr McCain needs to move lots farther to the right side on energy independence, War on terror, kosovo, stem cell, border control, etc. before I cast my vote for him....actually, I see him dropping out in any case.

Brooks is just stating the truth.
It’s clear that Weaver is the source. His denial yesterday convinced many, but not me.(I posted some stories here yesterday that flush out the Weaver-McCain relationship, and they are everything Brooks says it is, and more).
And it’s clear from McCain’s response yesterday that McCain felt he had to deny it absolutely. But if he’s not telling the truth — it gets very bad for McCain.
Does that mean the party can take the nomination away from him, ie, not confer it? I would think so — I’m sure there’s a “moral turpitude” clause in the Party by-laws somewhere.
We can still suit up Romney, coming in off the bench.

He’s dropping out? LOL! Not! But he WILL desperately try to convince conservatives to vote for him. He has a LOT of work to do.

You are full of it nimrod. The “west” is more socialist than the former Soviet Union.
You are stuck in some time warp. Russia is more west than the west.

These two McCain advisers share a mutual hatred, one McCainiac told me Thursday, that is total, absolute and blinding.Much like McCain and conservatives?

Oh but I can envision a scenario in which McPain cannot bear the attacks of those liberals he once had a love fest with.

This is about the clash of strong personalities that happen every day in every campaign organization, in every corporation and business, in every classroom and in most families in America. Somebody wins, somebody looses. The loser might externalize his pain by irrational acts. Big deal.
If the babble—including Brooks column—produced by the Times in the last 36 hours is their best shot they should avoid fights.

Russia is more west than the west.I suggest you go look up a list of nationalized Russian businesses and get back to us on that.
