McCain's Clayton Williams Connection Problems
It's the year of guilt-by-association in presidential politics. All the candidates have been victims of it... this time it's John McCain and his Texas fundraiser, Clayton Williams.
Texas Democratic women are not pleased that McCain hasn't denounced Williams for comparing rape to bad weather -- ""If it's inevitable, just relax and enjoy it".
McCain canceled the actual fundraiser that was to take place at Williams' house after his campaign learned of the comment. (See earlier post.) But the campaign kept the $300,000 Williams raised on McCain's behalf.
Texas State Senator Leticia Van de Putte and former Chair of the Texas Democratic Party Molly Beth Malcolm will hold a conference call (yes, it's the year of the conference call, too) to "call out" McCain this afternoon. A release says they plan to also discuss why Senator McCain is bad for women and how he doesn't understand the issues American women face.
