If he were the nominee, the MSM would beat him to a pulp with that. McLame has been paying for that deed by restricting givers because he is too week to restrain himself from his avarice.

But all the senators allow lobbyists to come in an pitch their ideas, Boeing, the agriculture groups, defense industry,. and if it resonates with the senators home state, whats the big deal if it helps that state? It happens all the time. The issue is if that senator personally unduly enriches himself, like Duke Cunningham. Are we saying that McCain’s issues with lobbyists have resulted in him gaining some bucks from it?
