From the New York Times:

[Arianna] Huffington, the liberal blogger, said she had heard Mr. McCain say at a Los Angeles dinner party shortly after the 2000 election that he had not voted for the president he has now publicly embraced in his own quest for the White House. The McCain campaign swiftly quashed the account and said Ms. Huffington had a book to promote and would make anything up.

“She’s a flake and a poser and an attention-seeking diva,” Mark Salter, one of Mr. McCain’s closest aides, told The Washington Post.

Now two other guests at the same dinner, given by the actress Candice Bergen, at her home in Beverly Hills, say they heard much the same thing as Ms. Huffington. * * *

It doesn't surprise me that McCain would say this back in 2000, given all the crap BushCo pulled against McCain during the primaries that year. But this could spell trouble for McCain in this year's election, particularly if more people from that dinner party corroborate Huffington and the other two witnesses. Bush, after all, still maintains a 28% approval rating.
