according to our friends at MyDD,

John McCain just hired the worst man in the world to run his campaign, Terry Nelson. Nelson was an unindicted co-conspirator in the TRMPAC scandal as a key point of contact between Tom Delay and the RNC. He was James Tobin's boss during the 2002 New Hampshire phone-jamming scandal, for which Tobin was convicted. He also worked at the head of opposition research for the NRCC this cycle, where robocalls from Republicans pretending to be Democrats were the norm all over the country. Nelson also produced the racist bimbo ad against Harold Ford.

1. McCain has crossed over to the dark side.

If you are a republican you have no shame. It's win at any cost.

2. For anyone who still believes McCain is a "maverick".....

an OK guy that bucks the Republican system of greed and hypocrisy, this should lay waste to those beliefs. He's just more of the same from the Republican slime factory. To think that I once had a modicum of respect for McCain. :eyes: Not any more. His true colors have been bleeding through lately, the color of money, the color of greed, the color of dishonesty.
Screw McCain and the elephant he rode in on.

3. I have two words to say--

Keating Five.

And a few more:

Birds of a feather...

And McCain is just another vulture.

4. Yep ....

There's a thread that takes the position that McCain is going to be next to impossible to beat in '08. I don't think he has any more chance of being elected than Bob Dole does. McCain has an uncanny ability to do self-destructive things.

8. Is it possible to find any experienced Republican campaign

managers who haven't broken the law?

Quite a revolting development, if you ask me.

10. He'd hire the people that smeared him in 2000 if he could.
