Again, I didn't say McCain did anything illegal or unethical in pushing for Airbus to get the contract.

I asked a simple question...does the fact that McCain lobbied for Airbus in getting the tanker contract, which could send $100 Billion and lots of jobs to somewhere else in the country or world, rather than having them here in our area, affect how you may vote for him, or not, in the election.

For the McCain apologists, no need to reply anymore...I'm asking the people who may not have made up their minds yet.

Fish on...

P.S. Again, not necessarily anything to do with McCain, but the GAO brought up seven fatal errors in the bidding process that required them to recommend that the USAF redo the awarding of the contract.

The USAF did not have to take the recommendation, but after receiving the GAO's report, the USAF agreed that serious errors were made and stepped up and re-opened the bid.

This is not a "sore loser" situation...this is a local company fighting for a potential of ONE HUNDRED BILLION DOLLARS in contracts, much of which will be spent here in Washington to build planes and hire workers.

Airbus and Boeing will both bid again, and hopefully the process will be legitimate this time, and then we'll see who gets the contract.

Anyone who lives around here and complains about that doesn't have much interest in the local economy.
