If it turns out that there was in fact an affair, McCain is screwed as he just denied any improprieties.

My first reaction to McCain is: "you ole rascal!" and get lobbyists the heck out of our government..because of anonymous sourcing and innuendo, imo it don't read any more credible than a tabloid..the NYT or any paper of record owes a national party nominee and the voters more facts if they're going to drop this kind of bomb.. Scanning the blogosphere, it looks like The New Republic was putting pressure on the NYT to put this out? Bonus TNR Angle on the McCain Story The McCain campaign is apparently blaming TNR for forcing the Times' hand on this story. We can't yet confirm that. But we can say this: TNR correspondent Gabe Sherman is working on a piece about the Times' foot-dragging on the McCain story, and the back-and-forth within the paper about whether to publish it. Gabe's story will be online tomorrow. Update: McCain senior aide Mark Salter tells Time: "They did this because the The New Republic was going to run a story that looked back at the infighting there," Salter said, "the Judy Miller-type power struggles -- they decided that they would rather smear McCain than suffer a story that made the New York Times newsroom look bad." --Noam Scheiber blogs.tnr.com
