It's now clear why campaign finance reform is such a hot button for McCain. He feels intense guilt that he has personally been so corrupted by what he thinks is the system.

WASHINGTON –– At least 15 times since 1997, Sen. John McCain wrote federal regulators in his capacity as Commerce Committee chairman on behalf of major donors from airlines to telephone companies, hundreds of memos obtained by The Associated Press show.

In one such letter, McCain urged the Federal Communications Commission in the fall of 1998 to give "serious consideration" to BellSouth's request to offer long-distance service. BellSouth employees are the third-largest contributor to his presidential campaign.
