Default This Rick Davis scandal is going to kill this campaign.

Not that it had a chance, been dead for awhile. I'll still maintain not vetting Palin and not knowing how much of a raving lunatic she is killed the campaign because they can't get rid of her now. This is all over the AP though, and large politcal blogs and websites and soon will be all over the tube if not already. I haven't turned it on yet today.

Now I know you repubs are going to back McCain and Palin regardless of anything they do. You need to come to terms with yourself though and realize when people make wrong choices and decisions and acknowledge that. Otherwise you just let them control you.

Could you please explain to me what the "Rick Davis" scandal entails?

Wow. I guess Newsmax and Drudge missed it!

Rick Davis runs JMac's campaign.

He also owns a lobbyist company. JMac said Rick had nothing to do with Fannie/Freddie - and then it was discovered that up until LAST MONTH was paid 15K/month by Fannie/Freddie.

So, was McCain lying?
Was Rick lying to Mccain?
I guess you have to assume that Rick either lied to JMac or kept him in the dark.
If so, should JMac have known anyway? Doesn't he vet ANYBODY?
Does JMac have any idea what is happening within him campaign?
Does he have any control over his own campaign?
Will Rick resign?
If not, why not?

McCain Aide’s Firm Was Paid by Freddie Mac

WASHINGTON — 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.
