SCANDAL SEASON: WHICH CANDIDATE (IF ANY) WILL GET THE MEDIA AXE?

Ron Paul was right: "It's not over till it's over." He was referring to the fact that anything could come up between now and the nominating convention for President---a scandal, some indiscretion, anything that would embarrass a candidate---and ruin someone's political career. That's why the only Republican anti-war candidate is still in the race despite support in the single digits, hoping the big two ahead of him (McCain and Huckabee) stumble. The media hasn't got anything on Ron Paul, so he can only rise higher in stature if McCain becomes an embarrassment. This week the NY Times unleashed a potential bombshell on McCain concerning a romantic relationship with a lobbyist. The story, even it its watered-down form is getting big coverage. What isn't getting any coverage except on the internet is a man claiming to have had a homosexual relationship with Barak Obama. Hillary has any number of indiscretions (financial and personal) that could be fodder for the pundits. This week I'll analyze how the media will determine who wins the presidency by which scandals they choose to make big and which ones they choose to suppress. It's all part of the process of manipulating the outcome of US elections. For a one-time sample copy of these briefings, send an email to "editor@worldaffairsbrief.com" and request it.
