Another One Bites the Dust

McCain advisors:

A top adviser overseeing finances for Republican Sen. John McCain's presidential campaign has quit over his ties with lobbying, a McCain campaign official confirmed on Sunday.

Former Texas Rep. Thomas Loeffler, a national finance co-chairman, is the latest McCain adviser to step down amid concern over potential conflicts of interest among lobbyists in the campaign.

He is the fifth person who worked on McCain's campaign to resign recently over links to lobbying activities.

Wanna bet he isn't the last?

McLobbyist

The fun don't stop on the Straight Talk Express:

A consultant to Sen. John McCain hired a public-relations firm last year to burnish the U.S. image of a Ukrainian political party backed by Russian leader Vladimir Putin, according to documents filed with the Justice Department.
First Burma, now this. McCain should travel in a clown car. It would be much more amusing.

I don't know, maybe I've got this thing all wrong and the press will decide lobbying is the maverick thing to do. Hey, you never can tell!
