I dont think this example of abusin his govermental position will hurt McCain.
The media typically dont pounce on us Christian Conservatives candidates over their exploitive behavior.
Media only makes issue of stuff liek 'whether a candidate wears a flag pin on every suit coat, every day & night.'
I remember recently comin accrost this members bio and bein quite surprised that Mainstream Media never made anything of the story in the bio.

I mean, the way GW made his fortune speaks volumes.
Well, it WOULDA spoken volumes ... but mainstream media never wrote any pages to compile a volume. Just the lowly Texas papers.

As a graduate of ASU, I personally would like to thank McCain in person for the earmarks he did for my school.
The McCain campaign can call them whatever he wants, but if they look like an earmark and walk like an earmark...

I`m starting to think maybe McCain and his wife are just too darn elite to reside at the White House. It would mean a step down for them.

FTA- In an interview, Betts said there is "absolutely no" connection between his contributions to McCain's presidential bids and the deal involving rancher Fred Ruskin and the Yavapai Ranch Limited Partnership.

Maybe I didn't see the whole picture with McCain 7 years ago or things have changed a lot, but the more I learn about him the less I think of him.
