“Like Al Capone on a giant scale!”

Yep! John is in thick with those types as well.

Las Vegas, well ALL gambling entities love McCain, and he gets big bucks from them.

Arizonans won’t support the old man, someone has to I suppose.

[snip]”As public opposition to tribal casinos has grown in recent years, McCain has distanced himself from Indian gambling, congressional and American Indian officials said. But he has rarely wavered in his loyalty to Las Vegas, where he counts casino executives among his close friends and most prolific fund-raisers. “Beyond just his support for gaming, Nevada supports John McCain because he’s one of us, a Westerner at heart,” said Sig Rogich, a Nevada Republican king maker who raised nearly $2 million for McCain at an event at his home in June.”
