UPDATE: McCain Campaign Manager still involved with lobbying firm

Unsevered Ties?

Regulatory filings indicate that McCain campaign chief Rick Davis remains an officer with his lobbying firm.

If this isn't a conflict of interest then I don't know what is. This just looks like it's getting worse and worse for McCain. I mean the sheer number of lobbyists involved in his campaign is enough to make you flinch. Then add in the fact that the lobbyist with the most sway in his campaign "has remained the treasurer and a corporate director of his lobbying firm this year, despite repeated statements by campaign officials that he had ended his relationship with the firm in 2006, according to corporate records." This is the lobbying firm that was taking $15,000 a month payments from Fannie Mae for what appears to be no legitimate work.

Something smells fishy.
