WASHINGTON - (KRT) - Mark McKinnon, the Austin political consultant who oversaw the advertising for President Bush in the 2000 and 2004 campaigns, has committed to help Sen. John McCain in a second presidential bid.

I and many others WILL NOT vote for McCain

I just couldnt do it either, how about Bill Owens?

[glock rocks]

I will not vote for McCain.

[johnny7]

The only time I didn't vote was Nixon/McGovern. Would I stay home offered McCain/Clinton?

I really don't know.

In November of 2008 you will. You won't stay home and you won't vote for Her Majesty.

[Sprite518]

i for sure will not vote for McCain. No way I don't care if its Hillary vs. McCain. I still would not vote for the guy. I would probably vote third party then.

[Soul Seeker]

Yep. And I'm one of them. No way. No How. Not with a Gun to my head or a Clinton on the ticket will I vote for McMaverick.

"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.
