And strategist Mark McKinnon of Austin, a former top adviser to President Bush, will leave in coming weeks as a result of the probable outcome of the Democratic primaries. McKinnon told McCain last year that he would not work for him in the general election if Sen. Barack Obama became the Democratic nominee.

McKinnon should have been dumped the moment he indicated he could not help the campaign vs. Obama. He is like a liberal weapon pointed at McCain’s campaign — forcing McCain to avoid or minimize any direct criticism of Obambi (as though McCain were likely to mix it up anyway). Either McCain will not vigorously challenge Obama’s poor ideas and background, or else if he does McKinnon will be there at any moment ready to whine to the media and provide more Democrat talking points.

From Loeffler's lobbyist website: Loeffler Group

Another Mexican loving NAFTA goon.

And strategist Mark McKinnon of Austin, a former top adviser to President Bush, will leave in coming weeks as a result of the probable outcome of the Democratic primaries. McKinnon told McCain last year that he would not work for him in the general election if Sen. Barack Obama became the Democratic nominee.

I guess Johnny wasn't reaching around quite far enough.

However, McKinnon said Sunday that he would remain involved with McCain in a limited way in the general election campaign through "things that don't involve direct engagement with Obama."

LOL! Like what- pushing some money his way to keep him alive for the election night kill?

Newsweek also reported that Susan Nelson, McCain's finance director, drew $15,000 a month from Loeffler's lobbying operation after she left the firm to join the campaign. Federal law bars outside payments to campaign staffers.

Has she and Loeffler been indicted yet?

What kind of presidential candidate would abide a PC infected moron like McKinnon?

of McCain's new conflict-of-interest policy that has forced several other lobbyists from his campaign.

New policy, if you cannot hide you are k street bought and owned, you need to go hide.

I've always believed you can tell a lot about an executive by the kind of people he surrounds himself with. McCain isn't doing well by that standard.
