Like I said Don, if he were a Democrat, he'd already be tarred and feathered. Because he's a Republican there's a million apologists like you ready, willing and able to make it all sound like Mary Poppins and Bert the Chimney Sweep.

Brian, you're reading more than I'm saying. There's enough democratic leaning press to get the GOP and vice versa. And Senator McCain isn't my ideal for a nominee. I'd draw a different character for sure.
I merely said that, given the facts of the day, there's nothing I've read that proves or even strongly suggests sexual promscuity or infidelity. It's just not out there. Reading it all from an analyst's perspective the facts are not in play.
I also said that it is far more in the guy's character and history to be cuddly close with a lobbyist, any lobbyist, than nakedly close with a woman not his wife. That is in the man's character and history and has been shown to be so more than once in his legislative career. Quite frankly that bothers me more for the nominee than that he might have had some dalliance years ago. His wife forgives him or not for that. His alliance with or willingness to serve lobby interests impacts on you and me.
