McCain: Hyper Risk Averse?

First came the pre-emptive denouncement of the NC GOP Rev. Wright television ad before he even viewed it, and now there's this:

The campaign of Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., removed a man from his Michigan Finance Committee today.

It started after conservative writer Debbie Schussel called Michigan businessman Ali Jawad not only a supporter of Hezbollah -- a group the US State Department labels a "terrorist organization" -- but also claimed he was a "key agent of the terrorist group in the Detroit area."

After Schussel started asking questions the McCain campaign removed him from the finance committee for a May fundraiser.

I haven't read up on Schlussel's charges, but it certainly seems that McCain has a quick trigger when it comes to jettisoning troublesome associations.

Come to think about it, that may be a good thing {looking at you, Sen. Obama}.

[Nice Deb]

Yeah, I think he did the right thing in this case.

But not the NC GOP case.

Have to disagree with you Cuff, he isn't real jumpy about jettisoning bad associations, he's still got Juan Hernandez.
