I'd really hate to be Senator John McCain today, or tomorrow, or the next day for that matter.
It is bad enough that the NYTIMES put out the story on what might have been an improper relationship with a lobbyist. Of course, this was denied by McCain
Bit now it seems that Senator McCain's people have been incompetent when it comes to getting him on the Indiana primary ballot. BlueIndiana blogger Thomas noticed that McCain was a little short in some districts when it comes to getting 500 signatures from each to be placed on the ballot.
To my surprise, I noticed that John McCain -- the presumptive front-runner for the GOP nomination -- was just a little short in a few districts, including my precious 4th, despite the fact that Attorney General Steve Carter had already turned in their petitions.

The DNC had something to say about this as well.
Despite the fact that the McCain campaign clearly failed to qualify for the ballot, Republican Attorney General Steve Carter and Republican Secretary of State Todd Rokita (who recently endorsed McCain) rubberstamped it anyway, trying to sneak McCain onto the ballot. Clearly, the Republican Culture of Corruption is alive and well within the McCain campaign.
Do we need another half-assed Republican and his buddies running this country when they can't even run an election right? I think not.
