Too Close for Comfort?
BY Sarah Laskow | February 21, 2008
Advisers to Republican John McCain tried to minimize contact between their candidate and Vicki Iseman, a telecommunications lobbyist, during McCain’s campaign for the 2000 GOP presidential nomination, The New York Times reports.
While serving as the chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee, which oversees the telecommunications industry, McCain wrote two letters to the Federal Communications Commission on behalf of one of Iseman’s clients, Paxson Communications, according to the Associated Press.
The Times story insinuates that McCain and Iseman were romantically involved, although both say their relationship was professional.
