It matters who McCain aligns with in Washington on the bailout and what their money connections are
Edited on Thu Sep-25-08 08:45 PM by bigtree
Up until now the question for McCain has been who he's chosen to represent him in his campaign and what their connections are to the deregulation efforts in Congress that allowed these financial institutions to play so fast and loose with these loans, but more importantly, what their money connections are to these bankrupt firms.

As McCain 'works the phones,' I hope we're keeping an eye on who he chooses to align with in Congress and what their interest is in the outcome of any compromise or any obstruction of the effort.

1. He's got lobbyists from every industry known to man on his staff...
with an especially heavy emphasis in Wall Street representation. Regardless of what tack the other Republics may be taking, McCain is 100% corporate owned.

What else is there to know?
