Rupert Murdoch's Sky news has the McCain transition team chiefs Saddam problem up on it's site.
Mr Timmons - a long term Washington lobbyist who has worked for every Republican president since Richard Nixon - has not denied the allegations.
As head of the transition team he would help John McCain fill up to 3,000 full time government posts in the period between Nov 5 and the Inauguration on Jan 20. The process involves intense security checks and heavy vetting, introduced after the September 11 attacks.
Senator McCain supported the first Gulf War and has repeatedly spoken about the threat Saddam posed to the world before he was captured by US forces, then tried and executed by the new Iraqi government.
But the alleged links between Mr Mccain's new adviser and the Iraqi dictator will again call into question the people he chooses to be part of his team.
The Republican's campaign manager Rick Davis has faced heavy criticism for his links to failed mortgage lenders Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

But still no coverage here

2. you would think if it's running on sky news it would get some play here.
Kerry mentioned it to night on Rachael Maddow's show and the huffo posted it this morning but that's so far.

4. If McCain "goes there" with Ayers and ACORN, Obama could unleash this at the debate.
