Wake Up America-McCain Received $881,450 From Big Oil Since Announcing Support For Offshore Drilling
In Texas alone, June oil and gas-connected donations to McCain’s Victory ’08 Fund, his hybrid fundraising venture with the RNC and state committees, reached $1,214,100.

Of that total, $881,450, or 73 percent, came after June 15. McCain announced his position in favor of offshore drilling on June 16.

2. Wow. This is a campaign ad that writes itself.
I hope the Obama campaign knows about this. They could an air an ad just showing the chart itself and it would get the point across.

6. Everybody who has connections to the Obama campaign, push this.
Also, let's try to create the "McCain is corrupt" narrative. Shouldn't be hard.
