Marc Ambinder (May 11, 2008) - A Second McCain Aide Resigns
“Doug Davenport, the regional campaign manager for the mid-Atlantic states, founded the DCI Group's lobbying practice and oversaw the contract with Myanmar in 2002. …He joins former DCI Group CEO Doug Goodyear, who resigned yesterday from the post of convention CEO after Newsweek reported that DCI was paid more than $300,000 to represent Myanmar's ruling junta.
“Goodyear and Davenport were recruited by McCain's campaign manager, Rick Davis, who has been accused by some current and former McCain advisers of take insufficient care of McCain's reformer brand by appointing lobbyists to key positions. Ironically, as Newsweek reported, Goodyear was asked to become convention CEO after Davis's lobbying firm partner, Paul Manafort, was nixed because of his own close ties to foreign governments and controversial companies.”

Barack was right in saying that McCain is not as "purified" as he claims to be. Now this latest resignation shows that McCain campaign is swarmed by lobbyists and other special interest groups.
It is a sad fact that chicken-hawks have been able to produce such a weak presidential material after very successful W.
As McWar gets under more media scrutiny, he will start to miss the old good days when everyone focused their attention into the battle between Hillary and Barack.
Soon the rest of the nation will realize that McWar is more dangerous for the top job as he drags a ton of lobbyists with him whenever he gets.

ABC News: McCain's Lobbyist Friends Rally 'Round Their Man
McCain has 59 lobbyists raising money for his campaign, more than any of the other presidential candidates, according to the latest finding from government watchdog group Public Citizen. The group, which advocates for public financing of elections, has identified more than 2,300 well-connected individuals, known as "bundlers," who have solicited contributions from friends and associates on behalf of a presidential candidate.
