Articles I stop reading.... and why

This is by Jonathan Salant in Bloomberg on McCain.

Employees from the securities, construction, pharmaceutical and energy industries, who accounted for about a tenth of Bush's money in 2004, are turned off by his record and giving more to his Democratic rivals, Senators Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.

``A significant percentage of your base Republican support, whether financial or otherwise, are not fans of McCain because of various things he's done or said or sponsored,'' said Republican consultant Eddie Mahe, who is supporting the Arizona senator. ``Many of them don't see Mr. McCain as being a lot better'' than the Democrats.


Uh, Jon..... If they don't see McCain as being a lot better, that means they do see him as better..... Now, if they see him as better, why are they giving money to people who will trash their industries like the Clintons trashed the White House?

Now. Are you sure that's what Mahe said? And are you sure he is supporting McCain??
And why, seeing as how you are a sure 'nuff journalist, didn't these points occur to you??

BTW - Did you forget to mention that McCain is sharp tempered and 71 years old?? I mean I wouldn't want you to miss anything.
