McCain's lobbyist/campiagn problem

McCain's national finance chair left the campaign over lobbying conflicts. I think that's the fifth titled campaign official to leave in a week. This issue must be drawing some blood from the McCain campaign because they shot back by raising Bill Ayers again, apropos of nothing.

This is a bad topic for McCain who is trying to position himself as "maverick" and reformer while his campaign staff is gutted by the conga line departure of lobbyists with questionable ties. It plays right into the "culture of corruption" narrative.

It's so bad, they've stopped commenting on it. "A few others are expected to leave within the week."
