It's Meaningless at this Point
McCain has stayed below the radar, no one is actively digging up dirt, and all attention is on the Democrats. Once the nomination is decided, and we Democrats have taken a deep breath and come back to our senses (deciding that neither Obama nor Hillary are Satan), McCain's skeletons will start coming out of the closet and he's in for a rough ride. While I think McCain is generally an intelligent person, he's a terrible speaker and debater, especially up against either Obama or Clinton.
The good thing about this early ugliness is that a lot of issues against Obama and Clinton are being vetted, and the public is already tired of hearing about them. When McCain goes to push those same issues, people are already going to be sick of hearing them. I can't imagine anyone caring about Obama's preacher or Clinton's Bosnia episode 6 months from now during the generals. Attacks on McCain, however, will be fresh and juicy.
