Publicly, McCain is "disappointed" by the Times story, but assuming it never grows legs beyond a few news cycles, he HAS to be thrilled at the timing.
Bill Keller, the big chief editor of the NYT, just did McCain a huge-ass favor. Keller kept the story quiet during the primaries when Romney could have blown past McCain and kicked his face in. Keller waits until after McCain has the nomination all but locked up, and is desperately trying to court/excite the Republican base and movers and shakers.
The Drug Kingpin (Limburger) has been hammering McCain along with other conservatives talking heads.
No more. They have begun to rally to McCain's side. They will back him up, and they may even start giving McCain some serious cash.
So, barring a terrorist attack (which, in my view would be devastating to Obama during the campaign), if McCain SOMEHOW manages to beat Obama in the fall (assuming Obama hangs on)...this may be the moment that turned the momentum of right-wing support to McCain's side.
Great plan Keller...great plan.
