I smell a skunk in the road and a Huckabee win at the Convention.

If Senator McCain cannot appoint competent people to his campaign finance staff, then how can we expect him, as president, to pick a competent Cabinet?

I will be very interested in seeing how this plays out as John McCain is my current choice for president. (Hint: If Huckabee get the GOP nod, I am voting Democratic ... whoever it is.)

I also find it ironic that George Bush's refusal to compromise with Congress over FEC nominations could potentially damage the GOP primary process.

I did not believe but now the Washingtom Post is naming the sources and dynamics. This thing does have some credibility.

leave the men alone please........

hillary for president 09

This is the experienced candidate?

I'm certain McCain has accused Obama and Clinton of things in this matter. He is, just put frankly, a hypocrite. Just like politics. Execpt Obama. I've been reading his book lately. He has some good ideas about poitics. For example, Money issues...

What a tangle web we weave, when John McCain try to decieve.

This just a example of what we can expect if he's elected as President.

Maybe Huckubee is getting his miracle after all.

Barack said it first in California this is two wheels fallen off and one pucture to the straight talk express

You have any more tricks up your sleeves McCain?

straight talk express. yeah right..........

Wasn't McCain just spewing political rhetoric the other day about Obama not confirming his commitment to public funding in the general election? So much for "straight talk express", more like "double talk express".

Where there's smoke, there's usually fire. Or at least smoke and mirrors.

Mccaine contract with the bank was carefully crafted so that he can get out of public financing easily. He understood the terms of the contract before signing it.

His credibility on this issue is questionable.

Here comes the real McCain

McCains hypocrisy is quite telling.

As he tacks to the right and panders to the Republican base and swithes his position on such issues as torture and the Bush tax cuts the 'Straight Talk Express' is suffering blowout after blowout!

Today just isn't McCain's day.

Okay.....is anyone else finding this ironic.

What a loser !! He cast the first stone without realizing a big one just hit his big head. Way to go...

Looks like the Straight Talk Express requires more than a trip to the repair shop!

Sounds as if McCain needs a few lessons on campaign finance reform. Senator Feingold can you help him?

BUSINESS AS USUAL

THE AWAKENING BEGINS.....PEACE

wow, it has been a really bad day for poor john. Maybe he could just withdraw?

John Please close the door behind you as you leave and wave goodbye to your chances in November.

Hillary and Barack must be laughing all the way to their donations.

Kinda hard to call out your opponent to stop accepting public donations when your own campaign will still be accepting them. Kinda the latest trend with Jonny Mac. Hes making "big time mistakes already. Just like not owning up to everything on his latest scandal. Ohhh I forgot, he is against the idea of lobbying!! So much for that "straight talk express" image. What a joke! He sold out all of his beliefs and morals to the right wing nuts, in order to get hid presidential bid. Again, Macains an absoute joke!! The only ones who will vote for him are right wing fruitcakes who only care about strutting around and telling each other how great we are,, and we are the best, while using fear mongering to scare people into thinking we are on the verge of being attacked at every moment.

how far these nasty elections will go? Why only Obama's are "untouchable" – something is not right with these elections.

maybe Obamistas are behind this? Why no one checks Obama's relationships?

Wow, that's gotta hurt. McCain has gone from being on the attack to now cleaning up two campaign messes. Yikes!

Oh O! More trouble for Mr. Integrity.

May be there some many dirts under the carpet that are waiting to be revealed.
Many Years in Washington = Many Dirts under Carpet

Unless the NY Times has more information to release about McCain's alleged lobbyist affair, this story about McCain and FEC funding would have been more newsworthy. When is an agreement legally binding? McCain agreed to take public financing for the primary and now opts out? McCain's campaign is not even waiting to get this serious problem resolved. His campaign is going to proceed as though nothing bad will come out of this.

Who is the double talker now!!!!!

Mr Cool McCain. Never get's flustered, whatever the heat
