McCain's Lobbyist Connections
Posted by Michael Link on April 7, 2008 at 12:20 PM
We've gone over this before, but Media Matters "Action Network" illustrates it so nicely. You'll want to check out this graphic showing the many lobbyists and former lobbyists on board the McCain campaign, which is more than any other candidate in the race. You can "mouse-over" to see what interests they've represented.
And as you'll see, we're not talking low-level staffers. It starts from the inner circle advising McCain -- lobbyists that might have a nice window office at the White House if he were to get elected.
What a maverick!

They all take money from Lobbyists. It's who the lobbyists are that only give to one candidate, and not the other's.
UBS AG is a case in point. It's a swiss bank, that has been one of the top three contributors of one candidate, no one else. That candidate also has investments with this company.
If this candidate gets elected, you may just want to invest in this company too. And you might want to check into nuclear materials, not just energy, but all sources and uses for nuclear materials. I would expect his interests to do very well.
You might also want to check out something called a Rare Isotope Accelerator (RIA) -- a 1 Billion dollar project that may come to one of the candidate's city & state. A lot of legislation has been/was/and will be passed to allow the construction to proceed -- if elected, this will be built. After all, one must make good on all those campaigns contributions (nuclear was in the top 10 for this person).
I am deliberately not telling who it is because I want you to go RESEARCH this for yourself. Opensecrets.org is a good place to start.
