There are a lot of Democrat PACs that use the Common Sense name as well, including one for John Kerry in 2004, they just change the last word, instead of Common Sense Issues, it’s Common Sense ———.
I was about to say that all these uses of “Common Sense” reminded me of the way that the Alamoudi family used “Rock Creek” to name everything. Then it hit me that maybe Carl Lindner and the Alamoudis could have a connection and guess what? They do.
In a Gannett article in January 2008, I determined that the full name is Common Sense Issues Inc. That did help.
UGH... I tried to track down Rock Creek — it was a crap shoot to figure out if you were talking about the same entity. Lindner and Alamoudi? Hmmmm....
It looks like Rick Davis was McCain’s campaign manager in 2000. Also, I think it is the same guy that was manager of the Dan Lungren (CA-rino) campaign in 1998. I just started looking (election results are too depressing, lol).
