Care to discuss John McCain's relationships?
 
Where should we start?  His professional relationships with Fannie Mae and Fannie Mac?  His religious relationships with Rod Parsley and another pastor whose name escapes me for the moment?
 
Plea, No.  Make the choice.  Where should I begin?
 
Now, if you will excuse me.  I have a Farmers' Market to attend.
