Arianna Huffington claims McCain told her that he didn't vote for Bush in 2000

This story is going to get obscured by today’s primaries and it has already been denied by the McCain campaign but Arianna Huffington’s claim that the McCains told her at a dinner party soon after the 2000 election that they didn’t vote for Bush is extraordinary. Personally, I’m sceptical as I don’t see why Huffington would sit on such a great scoop for more than seven years. But McCain is fortunate that this claim wasn’t made during the Republican primaries when it  might have gained traction.
