And meanwhile over in camp McCain....

It seems to me that the straight talk express has gone off the rails and been thrown under the bus. Lobbyists, lobbysists, lobbyists....

"Republican presidential candidate Sen. John McCain's national
campaign general co-chair was being paid by a Swiss bank to lobby
Congress about the U.S. mortgage crisis at the same time he was
advising McCain about his economic policy, federal records show."

2. Apparently not many here are paying attention....

DU'ers are too busy arguing about which one of our candidates is a bigger douchebag, which is ironic because in the douchebag Olympics, McCain wins hands down;)

3. This might be one of the reasons his economic policy makes no sense & how many are there?

How many lobbyists are there left on the campaign? I daresay about 80% of them....

5. Here's a few links...

WASHINGTON - John McCain's latest campaign angst, this time over his aides' ties to lobbyists, is putting the Republican in conflict with his carefully honed, decades-old reformer image. It's also giving Democratic rival Barack Obama an opening to paint him as nothing more than a creature of Washington.

Howard Fineman said that Charlie Black (I believe) told him "Our approach is not to talk about it } Brilliant!

I put that picture of McCain up as my desktop picture, to remind me of who the real enemy is.
