That's all you can come up with? He ran for Pres, there must be dozens of attempted stories. I've read some, and none have anything convincing. All this one says is:"the top individual recipient of Indian gaming money during election 2000 was none other than anti-soft money crusader Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., who sits on the Senate Committee of Indian Affairs." but it doesn't say how much -- It must be an embarrassingly small amount, otherwise they would have mentioned it. For someone on the committee of Indian Affairs to receive some sort of contribution from Indians would be understandable. To weave a Clinton-era FEC ruling into McCain's favor as a reason for the campaign-finance reform bill is too much of a stretch, for two obvious reasons. One, it wasn't McCain's legislation that caused the ruling, and two, it looks ridiculous to say the massive and controversial legislation was conceived to take advantage of the ruling. Unless you can make the case that McCain got many millions of dollars and sold his self-respect to the Indians, neither of which is likely.
