Actually, I think the only people bothered by it are the blog writer, and a few liberal folks who wouldn't vote for McCain anyways who are feigning shock for the sake of casting McCain in a bad light. Other than that, no one is quite that thick.
You're probably right. But if it gets play from the mainstream media it may sway a few voters. And in an election polling so close every little bit helps and hurts. I think they might try to play it from the McCain is old and out of touch angle, an angle they are already pushing hard. Its hard for liberals to play from the sexual immorality angle, all things considered. They usually approach it from the hypocrisy perspective ("see that Republican engage in behavior that he always condemns", even if the repub in question is not a social conservative).

The fact that a senior citizen like McCain is even talking to a crowd at Sturgis can't really hurt him.

And THAT is probably the most sensible thing offered on this entire thread.

Actually there are quite a few bikers there who are senior citizens.

I imagine more than ever as the 'boomers age.
Another note - I am not sure how many women want to be 'Ms Buffalo Chip' anyway - last I checked, a 'buffalo chip' was dry bison dung.
Not unlike Minnesota's once popular 'Pork Queen' contests.

I concur Jhud, taking to 50,000 citizens cannot be a bad thing. Many of them are veterans, many others main stream citizens. Just because they ride Harley's and wear colors does not negate them from society.
I wish Obama would have gone there  .
Thanks
RC
Yeah right. Had B. Hussein O. gone there, those "veterans" and "main stream citizens" would have all of a sudden turned into the "Hell's Angels", and people would be wondering, once again, why this guy has all these "radical" associations.

Oh No, now the liberals will claim that McCain was calling his wife a big piece of cr_p! 
They're not that big.

You know Julius, I normally respect your posts, but considering Obama is (and has been) the front runner in this race and the apple of the press's eye, this whole 'Obama as victim' schtick is getting a little tiresome.
And quite frankly, I don't think pity is what gets a person elected to office.

What makes you think I want him elected to office?
And do you really believe the purpose of my posts, pointing out the obvious double standard, is so that I can get anyone here to "pity" him?
I'm not that naive.
And talk about victm "schtick", the apple of the press' eye? Fox news and the Sean Hannity nightly ObamaBash, Rush Limbaugh, other conservative news outlets - last I checked, these guys get their share of viewers/listeners. But while we're on the subject....
While some of you whine about how the mainstream media follows Obama's every move, and assume its because they want him to win, ever thought it may be because of something called, "the bottom line"? That is, ratings? I know we don't want to hear about race, but, does anyone deny the historical implications of this election? McCain, who I still believe will win, is like the opening act for Hannah Montana.
People want to hear about Obama, whether you love him or hate him. His story is compelling. Even those who bash him like Sean Hannity know that because that's pretty much all he talks about. How many threads are there here on CW about him, be it for or against? People still like to talk about him, and apparently, hear about his every move since everything he says and does is parsed to the point of absurdity.
And the fact that he's allegedly the frontrunner in this race may be true, but it's also irrelevant. Do you deny that virtually everything Obama, excuse me, B. Hussein O., does is somehow given a negative spin by the right-wing press and some of the posters here at CW? For that reason, there is no doubt in my mind that had he attracted 50,000 bikers, there would be a different reaction than when J. Sidney M. and his wife, C. Lou Hensley M., did so. But I'm also sure there would be a lot more people, from the so-called mainstream media and from folks like Fox, covering it. I'm just pointing that out.

Well I bet Michelle Obama would have started a real fight if they had given her such a title...But then again, she may even have started a fight if they hadn't.
And I AM aware of what goes on at Sturgis.

All I'm saying is every other post of yours lately is about how unfairly Obama is supposedly being treated. In the bigger picture he isn't being treated 'unfairly' by any stretch of the imagination - while there may be a few posters here who have concentrated on aspects about Obama that are in the final estimation irrelevant, the reality i most of the press (including the 'right wing' press) have treated him as they would any politician of his stripe - that being, a liberal Democrat. And the mainstream press absolutely fawns over him. In fact I can't remember a politician who has gotten more positive treatment.
So at this point, every time you whine about some percieved slight, real or imagined, it rings completely hollow to me.
