McSweeney doesn't need the money and it will hurt dold because it dilutes the power of a mccain fundraiser for him here. Winning a congressional seat is more important to the party than a state rep primary. This is selfish and unnecessary.<br /><br />2. you're wrong about the support mcsweeney has given him. It doesn't show up in news clips or fec reports, but my guess is that over the last 25 years mcsweeney has probably hosted fundraisers for mccain in chicago where his friends and business associates have probably given to mccain. Cory booker was just in chicago in a fundraiser held by some of the crown heirs. On his fundraising sheet it will say he raised #5 k from the crowns but unless you saw the invite or were there you wouldn't know he raised $35 k from the people that the crowns got to show up. <br /><br />FOKLAESAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5194608964536238003.post-78781610697638361282011-11-03T15:28:07.972-05:002011-11-03T15:28:07.972-05:00McCain came in for McSweeney when he ran against B...McCain came in for McSweeney when he ran against Bean a few years back. Don't recall whether he did a fundraiser but I was able to sit in on the press conference and got a picture with McCain. Apparently there is some kind of connection somewhere.8(soon to be 14th) District Committeemannoreply@blogger.com
