Have you been wondering where McCain and Huckabee have been getting their money?

It's interesting that a man who has close ties to John McCain is funding a PAC, called, Trust Huckabee, which ran the push polls for Huckabee in Florida.

In case you don't know who Charles Lindner is, maybe this will remind you(now he's into carbon trading, as in McCain/Lieberman):

The Keating One,' and Carl Lindner From 1981—the year before John McCain ran for U.S. Congress—until the early 1990s, the former Navy pilot was totally beholden to junk bond swindler Charles Keating for his political fortunes. When the S&L scandal exploded and Federal prosecutors were breathing down Keating's neck, it was McCain who tried to bully Federal regulators into backing off. While the affair became known as the "Keating Five" scandal, none of the other members of the Senate and House implicated in the ethics violations, were as closely tied to Keating as John McCain.

And Charles Keating was no "loan assassin." He was but one player in a larger organized crime apparatus that ran the $200 billion-plus rip-off, in what may have been the biggest actual RICO (racketeering) scheme ever.

Between 1959 and the late 1980s, Charles Keating was the business partner of Carl Lindner, the Cincinnati, Ohio-based financier who would be one of the central figures in the $200 billion S&L rip-off. In 1959, Lindner and Keating co-founded American Financial Corporation (AFC). Keating served as the mortgage and insurance company's general counsel, and later as vice president.

Between 1974 and 1976, Lindner and Keating engineered a series of stock purchases and mergers with some of the leading figures in the Lansky crime syndicate—who had followed the Bronfman family recipe, and gone from "rags, to rackets, to riches, to respectability

That's interesting. I was looking at the money yesterday. Huckabee doesn't have much. He's budgeting well though. I didn't research but I saw he got a million from Texas. RP was impressive though. The military are donating to him.

Anyway, regarding if MH and MC have a VP deal or something going on...I really don't care unless something was promised to Thompson first. If we get force fed McCain...Romney, Huckabee, Thompson or Hunter on his team can't do anything but help us.
