Some more details on McCain’s ties to lobbyists. These aren’t wrong per se, but he should be honest about his ties. Much of campaign message is about 0 earmarks and how lobbyists hate him. The latter is simply not true, otherwise he wouldn’t have so many working on his campaign. In fact, that was the only useful bit of info to come out of that horrid NY Times piece about him. He knows how to play ball with lobbyists. He likes their rules.
