But John McCain is the “anti-lobbyist” candidate, right!?

HuffPo:

The non-partisan group Campaign Money Watch has come up with another startling figure for those who follow the presidential money chase.

According to an analysis performed by the group, McCain’s top fundraisers and aides have collected nearly $1 billion in fees from U.S. companies in the past decade — specifically, $930,949,819. Using numbers provided by the Center for Responsive Politics, the group also found that officials of those very same companies have given nearly $12 million to McCain’s presidential campaign, so far.

How’s that for a talking point?

1. It's a great talking point

Now we just need someone with power to talk about it to do so. There are so many things I think will be used against McCain after the conventions. I think the Obama camps knows that during the summer most people are so tired of politics, especially after the long drawn out primaries, and they have been waiting for after the convention when summer will be over, and people will be ready to hear the "facts" about both candidates. I really think things will change come September as far as going after McCain.
