Presidential Election

Read it again. Nothing happened until 1987.

 

Ps: Here is the data on McCain's personal freindship with Charles Keating:

McCain and Keating had become personal friends following their initial contacts in 1981, and McCain was the only one of the five with close social and personal ties to Keating. Like DeConcini, McCain considered Keating a constituent as he lived in Arizona. Between 1982 and 1987, McCain had received $112,000 in political contributions from Keating and his associates. In addition, McCain's wife Cindy McCain and her father Jim Hensley had invested $359,100 in the Fountain Square Project, a Keating shopping center, in April 1986, a year before McCain met with the regulators. McCain, his family, and their baby-sitter had made nine trips at Keating's expense, sometimes aboard Keating's jet; three of the trips were made during vacations to Keating's opulent Bahamas retreat at Cat Cay. McCain did not pay Keating (in the amount of $13,433) for some of the trips until years after they were taken, when he learned that Keating was in trouble over Lincoln. In 1989 Phoenix New Times writer Tom Fitzpatrick opined that McCain was the "most reprehensible" of the five senators.

So while Linclon S&L was located in California, Keating lived in Arizona, so that part of the relationship is very similar to Barack's relationship with the before mentioned peeps but that's where the similarities end! McCain clearly accepted bribes from Keating because if it wasn't a bribe, why did McCain send Keating money later when it was found out?

Ribbit

Pps: CNN just projected Obama is our next President!

 

Its all irrelevant now anyway.

 

It's been irrelevant for at least a month. The concession speech could have happened Oct 4th.

 

Agree...it was pretty much over when he was nominated. I was thinking...Oh No!! This is just like Dole in 1996. Some idiots at the RNC figured he was entitled to the nomination because of his length of senate service.

Hope we don't make that mistake again.

 

I mean general not hear.
