Will McCain's role in the Keating Five scandal be re-examined?
At one time, John McCain said the worst thing that ever happened to him, Vietnam included, was the so-called Keating 5 scandal. "The Vietnamese," he would say, "didn't question my honor."
Among McCain's earliest benefactors in Arizona was Lincoln Savings and Loan chief Charles Keating Jr., who filled McCain's campaign coffers with more than $100,000 and hosted the McCains multiple times at his vacation home in the Bahamas.
Keating expected his largesse to be rewarded, and when federal regulators began looking into Lincoln's questionable lending practices and investments in the late 1980s, he turned to five senators whose coffers he had lined — Alan Cranston of California, Donald Riegle of Michigan, John Glenn of Ohio and both Arizona senators, Dennis DeConcini and McCain.
The only one of these pols still in office is McCain. Although you gotta hand it to him for longevity, is this the right guy to be in charge, when one of the top, if not the top issue, is the economy?

Yes, it will be examined repeatedly during the last two months of the campaign.
McCain made some serious mistakes but was exonerated in the end.
It is good to examine the past history of both candidates for clues into their character and thought processes.
I doubt that the Keating scandal will play any part in whether or not a voter supports John McCain.
