I really don’t care who McCain is or is not schtupping, no matter what the most liberal newspaper says.
I do care when McCain’s campaign staff contains former (and presumed future) lobbyists, at one point more than any other campaign, some of whom are working gratis. This seems to run counter to the reform and honesty plank of the Straight Talk Express. One can’t help but think back to his involvement as one of the Keating Five during the Savings and Loan scandal of the early 1990s. McCain is also no stranger to creative campaign financing – note that in order to secure a loan, he had to pledge to get public financing if his campaign faltered, secured by both his mailing losts and a life insurance policy (he IS in his 70s, after all).
