Both campaigns have lobbyists working for them. Get over it.

Oh, the Rezko chestnut. If you want to discuss lobbyist and influence on political campaigns, you'd better get better and more timely facts. That PDF you pulled out was from December of 2007, when McCain was NOT the Republican nominee, and not yet the front runner for his party.

Let's look this report from Mother Jones magazine dated 17-SEP-08, shall we? John McCain had 83 Wall Street lobbyists working for his campaign. That's just Wall Street. He's had 177 lobbyists of all stripes working for his campaign.

Boy, you have wonder how campaign can pick up that many lobbyists that fast...

And then the latest lobbyist-as-campaign adviser news from the New York Times:

One of the giant mortgage companies at the heart of the credit crisis paid $15,000 a month from the end of 2005 through last month to a firm owned by Senator John McCain’s campaign manager, according to two people with direct knowledge of the arrangement.

The disclosure undercuts a statement by Mr. McCain on Sunday night that the campaign manager, Rick Davis, had had no involvement with the company for the last several years.

The same two people familiar with the arrangement don't remember Davis doing much work in exchange for the compensation. For what was he getting paid?

You might also look more closely at the comments Sen. McCain has made about the lobbyists on his team; it's getting difficult to tell what the truth is about their role in his campaign and in a possible McCain administration.
