McCain's Lobbyist Staff
Posted by Michael Link on May 12, 2008 at 12:19 PM
This weekend, we learned that one of McCain's campaign managers (he has several) had ties to a firm had represented the Burmese military Junta. As a result of the media scrutiny, he was forced to resign. In addition, a McCain aide chosen (by McCain) to be in charge of running the GOP Convention also was also forced to resign for the same reason.
When his entire campaign is being run, at its highest levels, by lobbyists -- particularly when those lobbyists are conducting their lobbying business on the so-called "Straight Talk Express" bus, you can expect to see more of this kind of thing as the campaign goes on. And if he's elected, you'll see more of it in the White House, too.
