why has NONE of the media covered this?

I guess there is no honor among thieves.

When a reporter finds that one of those $9000 contributers is a homeless man sleeping on park benches, I suppose then the newsmedia will jump on it. They will do an in depth interview of the homeless man about why Obama is uppity.

Has anyone else reached the logical conclusion from all of these stories? By that I mean, the media theme about McCain being an honorable man just isn't true. When do we face the fact that he is anything but honorable? Or does being a POW confer permanent honorableness to someone?

Wow. Nailed it! Great catch, Eric!

Someone has to pick this up, i mean, this is fraud.

is this a campaign finance violation as well (regarding Abu Naba'a soliciting?)

McCain's fundraising makes a mockery of McCain-Feingold.

How is this not news?

And to think, that these fuckers raised "cain" over Obama opting out of public funding.

I notice the only fundraising story that has any traction is the story that Obama has raised $112 million of his contributions from contributors of $1,000 or more proving he is just like McCain. Of course, he has raised over $225 million from smaller contributors, a sea change in the financing, but that isn't news. It doesn't fit the narrative.

This story doesn't fit the media narrative either. For guys like Jake Tapper and the rest, John McCain is an honorable man. He would never employ crooks in his fundraising activities. No story here. Move along.

Great posts. Too bad the MSM won't actually share any of the details. I can predict that Wolf Blitzer after reviewing the lawsuit and the facts in the case will say something like, "There may be some issues with one of John McCain's bundlers. We'll give you just enough info to keep you from channel surfing away when the commercial for treatment of painful rectal itch comes on. Stay tuned all you sheep out there. The Wolfman will be right back with more shitty coverage."

I get the impression the MSM is going lite on the Old, Grey-haired Guy cause if did their job and really investigated these odd problems that keep popping up, the repugs wouldn't have a candidate when their convention opens.

Great work as usual by the TPM staff. Keep it up.

Obama's problem isn't with McCain, its with the MSM who can't say the name "McCain" without adding "maverick."

McCain is less a maverick than many Democrats, people like Sen Ben Nelson of Neb who votes against the party more than McCain ever did.
Aren't the 40 or 50 Blue Dog Democrats in the House also mavericks?

Its not only the maverick issue, its the whole tone of how they report on the candidates. Obama gets more air time, but much of it is negative.

Shouldn't the headline say "McCain/Clinton Bundler"?

Obviously, you've uncovered some very nasty business here. As a Florida resident, the part that most concerns me is that said bundler is the finance chairman for the Florida Republican Party. I've been feeling awfully helpless here in NW Florida trying to promote the Obama campaign. Full coverage of this story in Florida papers and TV would sure help, but I don't expect it to happen.

Anyhow, thanks for all TPM's good investigative work.

The MSM is protecting the Republican Part from total distruction. This is not just about McCain anymore...it's about saving the party. The corporations will not allow there party to fall and go without representation. The simple truth about this facist party.
