McCain's Oily Millions

by Stranded Wind

 We have the distinct privilege of working on social media (Twitter & Facaebook) for the Glassman Senate campaign in Arizona this cycle. As bloggers with neither advertisers nor editors to please we see the same stuff the press does, but we get to have a lot more fun with it. Someone from the campaign pointed this out to me yesterday.

 The Friends of Earth campaign to compel politicians to return oil industry money is just the sort of thing I like to get – it's a public effort, it's nothing the press would be willing to do anything on, and it plays well with the oil spill related wrath already in evidence here. The campaign thought it would be good to point out that McCain gets 7 out of every 10 dollars the oil industry gives to the Senate(!)
