This is not good news for McCain, and little things add up.
Especially when they are real concrete actions rather than words or stances.
The deal he scuttled involved a corrupt air force official (and some Boeing officials) who went to jail for her deeds....the issue was Boeing’s fault, not McCain’s!
He saved the tax payers 6 billion dollars in overruns that would have occured if the tanker deal went through back in 2004.
If anything, the Air Force is very careful of dealing with Boeing because of this past discretion!
Now, the EADS/Northrop deal will give 2000 jobs in Alabama and an additional 25000 spin off jobs through out America, vs 9000 jobs lost thru the lost Boeing deal! Who is making out better in the end...a red state/and other states in the US or just a couple of blue ones?
He might as well get used to it. The dirt is just now starting. IMO the GOP has made a big mistake. He’s an insider and his enemies have had years to build a case. It takes time to prepare a smear. We needed a fresh candidate that they didn’t expect or know much about. Someone that could laugh and let this stuff roll right off.
