Now McCain Has Ethics Problems

Things just keep getting worse for John McCain.

As his ship starts to sink, he is moving into panic mode. Recently, he ducked off the Senate Floor and went to the Senate cloakroom. With bad news about resignations coming in, he called his fund-raiser and exhorted him to raise more money. It seems he entered into a gray area. The Senate ethic rules forbid campaign activities within Senate facilities.

According to the story in the New York Times, if he solicited campaign contributions, that would be a criminal violation. The article goes on to point out that Senator McCain raised this same charge against Vice President Al Gore when he was running for president.

Nothing is going right for McCain. Opportunity knocks once and then the door closes. It is just a matter of time before he will have to bow out. I only hope he is able to do it gracefully. There was a time, I would have voted for him.
