This one is in charge of his transition team. Interesting to note that he used to lobby, probably illegally (since his two associates went down for it), for good old Saddam Hussein.
So lets see... McCain is a 26 year senator, his campaign manager is a career lobbyist, his top financial advisor is a career senator, his transition leader is a career lobbyist with ties to Saddam Hussein.... but McCain wants us to believe he is a "change agent".

Yeah, I read about that. But y'know, it won't make a bit of difference to those who vote for the candidate on race or likeability issues. They're looking for a drinking buddy that resembles themselves, not a leader.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't McCain's campaign involve over 100 lobbyists? Seems I read that somewhere....
He's wedged as tightly in the corporate pocket as an Arizona chuckwalla under a flat rock.
It seems that I got the date wrong for Debate 3 -- nothing unusal about that. Thought it was to be last night. Anyhow, Obama might consider bringing up the lobbiest issues, if only to piss him off.

Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there – on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.
