John McCain received $12,000 in campaign contributions from Airbus officials!

WASHINGTON — Supporters of The Boeing Co. blame Sen. John McCain, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, for the company’s failure to win the lucrative $35 billion contract to build new Air Force aerial refueling tankers.
One could see this would blow up on John McCain the day the contract was awarded. He will have to do some intense explaining if he wants to have a chance in Washington, Kansas, or California. (He already had Alabama won even before he helped them land their Airbus deal).
