McHire: More Proof the Straight Talk Express is Dead
Posted by on December 7, 2006 at 12:40 PM
John McCain has tapped Terry Nelson to be his campaign manager. What's so special about that? Matt explains:
Nelson was an unindicted co-conspirator in the TRMPAC scandal as a key point of contact between Tom Delay and the RNC. He was James Tobin's boss during the 2002 New Hampshire phone-jamming scandal, for which Tobin was convicted. He also worked at the head of opposition research for the NRCC this cycle, where robocalls from Republicans pretending to be Democrats were the norm all over the country. Nelson also produced the racist bimbo ad against Harold Ford.
TPM has more.
Straight-talk or double-talk? You Decide.

McCain has sunk so low, because that's what it takes to get a Republican elected to any office these days.
It really doesn't matter. As long as he insists that we need to send more troops to the Middle East, he's doomed anyway.
I hope that McCain is not the Republican nominee. His well documented outbursts of violent temper tantrums really scares me. If he were to get elected, I wouldn't sleep to well knowing that he could go off his nut and start a nuclear war at any time.
Prince John wants a DRAFT!
Don't underestimate McCain. No surprise that a card-carrying member of the Keating 5 would bring this ethically challenged operative on board. I thought it was interesting what McCain's senior advisor Mike McKinnon (also worked for GW in both Whitehouse bids)recently had to say about Obama though:
“I think Barack Obama is the most interesting persona to appear on the political radar screen in decades.” He added, “He’s a walking, talking hope machine, and he may reshape American politics.”
Personally,I use to like John McCain,but I think he has turned a corner.He seems like a man who`s time is running out and he`s getting desparate. When I used to like him he seemed more like a maverick who didn`t need anybody telling him what to think.He seems to me that he`s becoming hideous before my eyes.I think that campaign against w really soured him and made him feel that`s what you got to do to win.Unfortunately, I think he`s losing himself.
McCain is a right wing dork - every bit as bad as Bush.
Now that's CHARACTER. Way to restore integrity to Washington.
He must be pretty desperate already. Mr. Integrity for sure.
pee-wee: First I support a draft too! My reasoning is that only myself, my family and all the other veterans that are presently serving and their families are the only people actually sacrificing for the mistakes of not only the President and his administration and not only the Republican Congress but also the mistakes of the Democrats that also voted for this war and continue to vote for it, even after they finally read the intelligence reports.
My comment about Senator McCain: I will probably vote for the man since I want a leader of our country that actually knows what combat is. McCain must be disgusted everytime he looks left and right while being on the Senate Armed Services Committee and see the majority of the committee members who have never volunteered to serve our Country. aka Hillary Clinton.
The only person in the Democratic Party that I would vote for over Senator McCain would be Al Gore. Al Gore did not vote for this war, and he has served in Uniform.
