McCain and his first wife

McCain and His First Wife - Nicholas D. Kristof - Opinion - New York Times Blog

Nicholas Kristof asks if McCain's treatment of his first wife should be a campaign issue or not?

My answer is glib but true:

It may be a trite answer, but the answer is IOKIYAR.

It's Okay if You are a Republican.

With the "we're not liberal!" mainstream media and press bending backwards to prove that, negative stories about Republican candidates get soft shoed so that they aren't accused of liberal bias.

If Sen. Obama had a first wife whom he treated in this way, it would certainly be a campaign issue.
