insisted that McCain had never even spoken with anybody from Paxson or Alcalde & Fay about the matter. "No representative of Paxson or Alcalde & Fay personally asked Senator McCain to send a letter to the FCC," the campaign said in a statement e-mailed to reporters.
But that flat claim seems to be contradicted by an impeccable source: McCain himself. "I was contacted by Mr. Paxson on this issue," McCain said in the Sept. 25, 2002, deposition obtained by NEWSWEEK. "He wanted their approval very bad for purposes of his business. I believe that Mr. Paxson had a legitimate complaint."
It's only February, how much more dirt is there on McCain? I would have thought the old Keating Five Scandal would have kept him away.

Why do they think endorsements from all these treasonous monsters is such a great idea? Well, unless they are ensuring the baton is passed to the other side of the aisle in this circus.

It should have, but it didn't. I'm beginning to think that the SOB is unsinkable. All he has to do when caught in some influence-peddling scandal is talk a lot about campaign finance reform, and all is forgiven.
Democrats are incredibly motivated this year, furious at eight years of Republican desecration of America, the Constitution and human values. Moreover, it's not just lifelong Democrats, but the ocean of news ones: voters have been rushing away from the Republican Party in droves. According to Pew Research, six years ago party affiliation was split between Democrats and Republicans almost exactly 50-50; today however 50% of the public is affiliated with the Democratic Party while just 35% considers themselves Republican.
On a graph chart, that's the equivalent of falling off the edge. This is a serious problem for Republicans. (For the sake of discussion, "serious" will be defined as "fatal.")
Remember, in Iowa -- a red state -- there was a massive turnout for Democrats, who almost doubled the Republican caucus turnout. In South Carolina -- a red state -- Barack Obama's vote total by itself equaled the entire Republican primary vote. In Florida (yet another red state), more people voted Democratic than Republican, even the primary didn't even count for Democrats.
And these are the states where Republicans are supposed to do well. Must do well.
On Super Tuesday, 14 million Democrats voted, and just 10 million Republicans.
At least in the primaries, far more votes have been cast for Obama + Hillary than for the GOP total.
