He brought in his right-wing boys, led by Pat Robertson in Virginia and the points started to rack up. Dubya, then turned on his money machine and drove McCain into the corner for the final knockdown. McCain couldn't withstand the attack and threw in the towel. And that's what he's climbing into the ring with now. The venue for this fight, the United States Senate.
Every senator has a vested interest in the fight's outcome.
McCain has come out of his corner swinging. He wants to ban all soft money. Soft money is where the real campaign is fought. He who has the most money, wins, and restrictions on the use of soft money is like having no restrictions at all. Dubya has jabbed back, wanting to stop contributions from corporations and unions but allowing individuals to give, give, give.
