Another "liberal media" sighting on CNN "Analysis: Obama, McCain both have lobbyist ties"

What a bullshit article. Essentially, they are re-covering the NYT's article about McCain and the lobby-fest that is the International Republican Institute, but they just had to try to smear Obama as being connected to lobbyists all the same. They state McCain has received $180,000 from lobbyists and trade groups, and somehow the $6,000 that Obama has from such people is equivalent. They go out on a limb and say that the lawyers who have donated $18 million to Obama's campaign are essentially lobbyists, even if they're not, really.

Oh, and he gets bundled donations, too! Even though 94% of the money raised by Obama's campaign comes from people donating $200 or less.
