2. He's married to his mistress now...

makes for a boring story... no illegitimate kid, no siphoning of campaign funds for hush money. After close to 30 years the excitement is gone as well.

8. In other countries not too many care about personal love affairs.

Its not too different when its a republican in this country.

Maybe its a m$m political attack against democrats.

9. Some info on McCain's infidelity

"An examination of court documents tells a different story. McCain did not sue his wife for divorce until Feb. 19, 1980, and he wrote in his court petition that he and his wife had "cohabited" until Jan. 7 of that year -- or for the first nine months of his relationship with Hensley.

"Although McCain suggested in his autobiography that months passed between his divorce and remarriage, the divorce was granted April 2, 1980, and he wed Hensley in a private ceremony five weeks later. McCain obtained an Arizona marriage license on March 6, 1980, while still legally married to his first wife."
