huffingtonpost.com — Former U.S. Sen. Dennis DeConcini told PolitickerAZ.com Monday that he thinks Sen. John McCain's involvement in the Keating Five scandal of the late '80s and early '90s is fair game as an issue in the presidential contest between the senator from Arizona and Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.).

yawn, that's right bash away on McCain supports but never actually come up with good defense for Obama. Dig a little deeper on the info on people such as Frank Marshall, Jeremiah Wright, Father Phflegher, Michelle, Loius Farrakhan, Saul Alinsky, William Ayres, Brenadine Dohrn, Tony Rezko, Emil Jones, Franklin Raines, and Jim Johnson and their relationships to Obama and what they have done in life. You would be surprised.

Once again kid. Youtube isn't a creditable source of information. This kind of post would go over a lot better in townhall, fox news blogs etc.

A lot of these 'associations' you mention are being blown up and out of proportion by the McCain camp to try and kill Obama's momentum. They've also been gone over by the press and analysts multiple times and there is nothing there.A CNN fact check did uncover the fact that McCain did try and delay regulations that would have cracked down in Charles Keating's practice.<a class="user" href="http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/10/06/fact-check-did-mccain-intervene-on-behalf-of-charles-keating/#more-23012">http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/10/06/fa ...</a>He does repeat those mistakes in judgement when he appointed Phil Gramm as his main economic adviser, had lobbyists running his campaign and writing his policies.

Actually what he's trying to say is that they've been investigated and nothing found. The McCain campaign is clutching at straws now to try and dig up the slightest bit of connections that just aren't there. But I guess in your mind its all a liberal media conspiracy right? McCain has been in the Senate for 26 years. You really think if Obama wanted to stoop to his level that finding questionable characters with real associations would be hard?Obama is going to win this election and not by what he's done or said but rather McCain making himself out to be the unelectable candidate he really is.

Funny that you think every tainted Democrat is somehow linked with Obama's campaign. If you extract your head out of your ass maybe you will see the light!

Besides McCain is a traitor. He collaborated with North Vietnamese. As a POW instead of giving only his Name, Rank and Serial number he also revealed who his dad was and in the process became a tool for their propaganda.

All McCain took was some plane trips, that was it. He did nothing to actually help Keating. Really I don't like either of the two big canidates that we have, but after looking at everythign thats out their, true and not true. Since I feel like I really should vote for one of teh two big canidates so I am not throwing my vote away, I ended up picking McCain after doing a Pro/Con list.Economic issues requires that the president have congress backing him up, since Congress is the true power when it comes to economic policy. Really the president focuses mostly on foreign policy, and I would rather have McCain then Obama control that. That was the only thing that tipped the scales in McCains favor. With Obama I fear that we will have another Carter presidency which was pathetic.Yes I agree that McCain made a dumb ass move even accepting plane flights but people make mistake. Peer pressure doesn't help either and I could see some of McCains buddies who were part of the 5 that were investigated encouraging him to come along. To be honest, I am annoyed with the whole political process and parties we have now. Neither is what they were, nor are they becoming what we would like them to be.
