$27 million cash on hand John McCain: Campaign Finance/Money - Summary - Senator 2010 | OpenSecrets

You're entitled to the rest of your opinions, but I would find them more compelling if you didn't use Liberals’ Five Favorite Republicans RINO Brown as an argument for disgust with RINO McCain.

I wouldn't have a problem with JD as AZ Senator, but it ain't gonna happen. Resources should be spent in states we can take from the rats.

$27 million cash on hand John McCain: Campaign Finance/Money - Summary - Senator 2010 | OpenSecrets

That figure you quote from opensecrets runs counter to every single figure I have seen from everyone else, by a margin of over 20 million dollars.

CBS February 22, 2010 12:42 AM :
“While McCain's campaign has approximately $5 million cash on hand, Hayworth has been capitalizing on media appearances to increase the visibility of his edgy, outspoken persona. “

National Journal Monday, Oct. 19, 2009 (derived from FEC filings for the 2010 cycle ending 9/30/09):
McCAIN (R) 5,681,155

These are from SEC filings, which trump open secrets. I am gonna find it hard to credit the $27 million cash on hand figure from opensecrets. You might want to email your pals at opensecrets on that one.

That's a bit rich coming from you, given that it's John McCain, who has been running a scorched earth campaign against JD, using every single loony left talking point in the business, including calling JD a racist for opposing illegal immigration, and attacking JD for being a “birther’ when JD pointed out that it's perfectly legitimate for voters to demand to see 0bozo’s BC, just like any other president.

“Resources should be spent in states we can take from the rats”

Since McCain more often that not, votes with the RATS anyways(including voting against the Bush tax cuts), using resources against him sounds pretty sensible to me.

After a bit f digging, I see where the discrepancy lies. It would appear that McCain has $22M in his GELAC account.
A General Election Legal and Accounting Compliance (GELAC) account,
“may be established by such individual prior to being nominated or selected as the candidate of a political party for the office of President or Vice President of the United States. Before April 1 of the calendar year in which a Presidential general election is held, contributions may only be deposited in the GELAC if they are made for the primary and exceed the contributor's contribution limits for the primary and are lawfully redesignated for the GELAC pursuant to 11 CFR 110.1”

So obviously, this is not money McCain my use for his US senate campaigning.
