On Wednesday night, an otherwise obscure telecommunications lobbyist by the name of Vicki Iseman was thrust into the media and campaign spotlight, after a New York Times story suggested that she and Sen. John McCain had a close relationship that may have been romantic.

had been turning up with him at fund-raisers, visiting his offices and accompanying him on a client's corporate jet. Convinced the relationship had become romantic, some of his top advisers intervened to protect the candidate from himself -- instructing staff members to block the woman's access, privately warning her away and repeatedly confronting him, several people involved in the campaign said on the condition of anonymity.

When news organizations reported that Mr. McCain had written letters to government regulators on behalf of the lobbyist's client, the former campaign associates said, some aides feared for a time that attention would fall on her involvement

Let's refresh every one's memory. Between Ohio and the DHL scandal and Vicki Iseman, lets keep the heat on McSenile, shall we?

1. The GOP has whisked her away, hidden her, and probably paid her off.

That's the advantage they always have - they are brutally criminal in covering things up.

2. for her sake I hope she was only paid off - people like her

seem to commit "suicide" at convenient times.

3. if she's dead, they might try to hang it on Bruce Ivins

5. Yes please. Even though Iseman got special favors

from John Sidney McCain III (with 7 homes, $520 shoes, unlimited credit and a slim blonde heiress 2nd wife at home waiting for him) his media pets let the story drop because no one had photos of the two in flagrante delicto, I guess.
