John McCain Uses Wife’s Company’s Jet

To the New York Times – “Is this all you’ve got?”

From Politico.com

The New York Times has reported that John McCain has been using his wife’s company corporate jet almost exclusively for campaign purposes. Apparently, it is not an illegal act at all, and one can’t be sure if the Times is more upset over the fact that they cannot find anything of substance to hang on McCain or if it was apparent that the man was being frugal in managing to jet about the country for six months at the price of two months flight time. It is evident that the Times is attempting to question McCain’s character as noted; “McCain has a “signature stance” on campaign finance reform” but he found a “loophole”. To wit – so what and is that all you’ve got? Although, to this conservative, McCain is not the most appealing candidate (given his stance on immigration reform and embryonic stem cell research), yet when the surface is scratched, there is little to criticize from an independents point of view. The man has worked well with both sides of the aisle, and has appeared to vote his conscious, and not a straight party line. This is worth noting.

Additionally, Governor Mike Huckabee, true to his word, is supporting Senator McCain’s candidacy through active campaigning and the Huckpac a political action committee designed to promote conservative candidates.


The Baltimore Sun is calling McCain and Huckabee the “not so odd couple”, citing the civility on the campaign trail as well as Mike Huckabee’s support of McCain in his recent trip through Arkansas. The speculation of McCain’s running mate has begun:
“McCain fielded the obligatory running mate question with his "standard answer," saying that he didn't want to mention any names yet.

But McCain readily admitted that "millions of Republican voters voted for Governor Huckabee" in the primaries, and he wants him to play a prominent role in his campaign. McCain noted Huckabee still has a 65 percent approval rating in Arkansas.
When reporters asked Huckabee if he planned to campaign for McCain, it was McCain who jumped in to answer with a ready: "Yes." (Baltimore Sun) click here for the entire article
