McCain- Not So Perfect after all?

It seemed like everything was going perfect for Senator John McCain as of late. He has raced ahead as the top republican canidate in the upcomming election and has outstanding ratings in virtualy every primary as of late. So the question had to arise as to how is this man so perfect?
In Thursday's New York Times, McCain's "perfect" history took what could potentialy be a big hit.
The first article that brooke Thrusday morning in the Times, described McCain as possibly having romantic relations with 40-year-old Vicki Iseman, a female lobbyist. While the article was enjoyable to read, it really felt like there was a serious lack of evidence to produce an article of this magnitude.
Every single quote by McCain in thsi article, consisted of him denying that anything ever happened between the two. Well, what do you expect? Here is a man who has a very good shot at becomming the next president of the United States, a man who has basicly a flawless history, and now that he is finally accused of doing something wrong- hmm..I wonder what his responce is going to be.
Here is a video link of McCain's responce to the allegations.

The timing of this article comes during several other scandals going around that can be related to this one. Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick gets accused of an affair and denies it, then gets caught. Major League baseball player Roger Clemens, perhaps the greatest pitcher in baseball history, gets accused of using steriods and human growth hormans and denies it to a grand jury, yet many feel he is lying and will be accused of perjury. Bill Clinton, who has taken a large role and is very invovled in Hillary's campiagn, got impeached from office for his relations with another women.
This is an era where it seems like the media will do anything in their power to bring you down. As I said before, it seemed like McCain had to perfect of a record and obviously the press couldnt let that stand.
Here is a video of McCain's senior advisor disputing the report of him having relations with Iseman. The video provides pictures and reasons for denying what was writen in the NY Times article.
