When the lobbyist is a family member, particularly one as close as your son...that in most cases is seen as a conflict of interest. While you could argue that yes, McCain knows Hunter and probably has his whole life...blood is thicker than water and any earmarks, votes or whatever that are related to his son's lobbying efforts or industry would and should come under examination.

I hate to say it but the future looks dismal guys. We got a naive rookie on one hand and a senile old man on the other... what ever happened to moderates???

Why do we have to keep picking at this Hillary thing? What's the obsession? Seriously, it's old news and everyone's sick to death of it. Let's deal with our crisis's at hand thanks!

I really think that it is just a BS email and relly doubt that Obama would do that. But anything is possible. I really think it is just someone getting jollies at seeing his email go around the internet. http://stix1972.typepad.com/stix_blog/2008/09/from-the-rumor.html Stix Blog
