"McKinnon became better acquainted with McCain during his campaigning for the president in 2004 and contributed $2,000 to the senator's re-election coffers last October.

A political maverick - he called his campaign advertising company Maverick Media - McKinnon first dabbled in politics as a Democrat and worked for the Texas gubernatorial campaign of Ann Richards, among other Democrats.

For the 2002 Senate race in Texas, McKinnon and his wife, Ann, contributed $4,000 to Democrat Ron Kirk against Republican John Cornyn. Later, the consultant apologized, saying the contributions had caused "some heartburn" for the Bush administration.

Of two thoughts: I don't think McKinnon realizes the trouble he's bought .. especially with Rove working HARD against anyone not in the Bush camp OR

Rove (and BUSH) have given McVain their blessings ...

I will be most perturbed if it's the latter .. truly.

McKinnon's only problem will be that McPain cannot win a Republican primary, nationally.

So he'll be working for a loser.
