Why is this even news?
We know he cheated on his first wife with Cindy.

Why is cheating on Cindy such a big deal?

I don't think this is his political obituary by a longshot.

4. The GOP brass are probably sighing with relief...
...that McCain had his affair with an adult. He is a Republican, after all.

5. I think the issue is more about being involved with a lobbyist
If he were actually "in bed" with her that would just be gross. It's the ethics issue - of which he repeatedly has had problems.

But, point taken, we know he's a sleaze.

7. His relationship with the religiously and morally insane among his 'base' is, at best, tenuous
This could cause them to turn away again, just as they were starting to more or less accept him ..... resignedly.

14. We don't know all the juicy details yet, do we?
It may not be his obituary, but I think he might just have received a terminal diagnosis.

21. Yeah lots of politicians are in bed with lobbyists--she is cuter than Jack Abramoff
It does sound like Straight Talk Johnny's got some explaining to do and Mike Huckabee must believe that he has found proof that miracles do happen.
