A list of campaign contribution “bundlers”
The reformer, Senator McCain, had more bundlers than anybody on the right. He’s the king of bundlers, makes sense because he wrote the rules
Hmmm…did not know that.
I’ll keep my eyeballs on it.
lot to chew on over here,
Here’s one.

MEDIA FIREWORKS: MCCAIN PLEADS WITH NY TIMES TO SPIKE STORY
Thu Dec 20 2007 10:56:57 ET
Just weeks away from a possible surprise victory in the primaries, Republican presidential candidate Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz has been waging a ferocious behind the scenes battle with the NEW YORK TIMES, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned, and has hired DC power lawyer Bob Bennett to mount a bold defense against charges of giving special treatment to a lobbyist!
McCain has personally pleaded with NY TIMES editor Bill Keller not to publish the high-impact report involving key telecom legislation before the Senate Commerce Committee, newsroom insiders tell the DRUDGE REPORT.
The paper’s Jim Rutenberg has been leading the investigation and is described as beyond frustrated with McCain’s aggressive and angry efforts to stop any and all publication.
MORE
The drama involves a woman lobbyist who may have helped to write key telecom legislation.
The woman in question has retained counsel and strongly denies receiving any special treatment from McCain.
Rutenberg, along with reporter David Kirkpatrick, has been developing the story for the last 6 weeks.
Rutenberg had hoped to break the story before the Christmas holiday, sources reveal, but editor Keller expressed serious reservations about jounalism ethics and issuing a damaging story so close to an election.
McCain campaign officials Rick Davis, Charlie Black and Mark Salter are also said to have met with the NEW YORK TIMES in an effort to halt publication.

More on the telecom lobbyist
I’m not sure why McCain enjoys such a high rating in Florida polls….however, it could be explained, I suppose, by the high proportion of navy/retired navy who regard McCain as one of their own, as well as there were a great many southern Democrats turned Republican because of the wuss factor of the NE liberal Dems. McCain, in my view, is tough on terror but has the more liberal social views of a Democrat.
More telecom, here
and here
Plus, telecom money
Plus, John McCain, was the deciding vote AGAINST Internet freedom during a key vote this week in the Senate Commerce Committee.
Whether or not McCain turns out to be guilty of any crime, he certainly appears guilty of the same corrupt beholdenness to K Street as any of Washington’s worst.
More from McCain. If elected, “the background music would be ABBA in the elevators all over the White House.”

No….NOOOOO!!!
Not ABBA.
There ain’t a dimes worth of difference between him and Hillary, ‘ceptin the GWOT.
hmmmmmm……..”several possible candidates from these firms for the mysterious “woman lobbyist” mentioned by Drudge: Lisa Kountoupes formerly of Clark & Weinstock, now of Kountoupes Consulting; Julie Hershey Carr of Kountoupes; Kathleen M. (Kathy) Ramsey of Fritts Consulting (pictured at left); and Mary Tripp and Anne Wexler of Wexler & Walker. Of the firms and lobbyists named by Wonkette here, Fritts Consulting has been most closely associated with Cyren Call by authors such as Jeffrey Birnbaum in the Washington Post, Fritts CEO Edward O. (Eddie) Fritts the former CEO of the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB), chief lobbyist Kathy Ramsey the former Executive Vice President of Public Affairs for NAB. Of the woman lobbyists named by Wonkette, port and the specific background in broadcast lobbying one would expect of a candidate for the mystery “woman lobbyist” named by Drudge. According to contribution reports publically available online, Lisa Kountoupes and Anne Wexler are both Democrats, with no significant links either to John McCain or to the telecom industry. Though Republicans, neither Julie Hershey Carr nor Mary Tripp have significant links either to John McCain or to the telecom industry. Only Kathy Ramsey has all the ingredients: A strong record of support for Republican PACs, including PACs that have contributed to John McCain campaigns, and the background in lobbying for broadcasting concerns as Executive Vice President of Public Affairs for NAB necessary to “write key telecom legislation” such as that to which Drudge refers above and Wonkette elaborates here. In cases such as that cited here, NAB has long lobbied for carriers’ ownership and profitability rights over the public good and the principle of net neutrality. Beyond her work with NAB, Ramsey has also contributed to such Republican PAC’s as the New Republican Majority Fund, which in turn like NAB has been a McCain contributor. If it is, therefore, from among the candidates listed by Wonkette above that we must choose Most Likely to be John McCain’s Mysterious “Woman Lobbyist,” my vote goes to Kathy Ramsey.”
Prior to joining The Fritts Group, Kathleen M. Ramsey was the Executive Vice President of Public Affairs for the NAB. In this role, she was responsible for the organization’s grassroots lobbying operation, corporate communications and national campaigns. Kathy previously served as the Director of Human Resources for the U.S. Senate Sergeant at Arms and worked for the Grocery Manufacturers of America, Inc. where she was involved with legislative issues ranging from nutrition labeling and food safety to corporate tax.

I know how to take McCain off message, and it is by using his basic unhingedness and his temper.
Remember how he reacted to the dirty campaign in SC? It doesn’t have to be much, either get down and dirty with him, or continually confront him with his past record, and his behavior.
If someone will provoke him, in whatever manner necessary, and make him explode and expose his true character as a bully, then the voting public will turn on him, just like they did in 2000.
Call him a liar about his now denying his jamming immigration reform down our throats. Call him a liar about his other legislative accomplishments, as well. Bring up his abandoning his wife. Point out some of the bizarre jokes he has made. Anything, but make him get off message, and out of his comfort zone. Make him mad!
Make him spend what money he has on ad buys to refute those claims, which can’t be that much, seeing as how his campaign was almost broke at the start of fall.
Whatever it takes for him to blow his cool and spend his money, is what must be done to expose him, and render him unelectable.
