Rep. Wexler: McCain “broke the law” on campaign finance

SilentPatriot, Crooks and Liars: Robert Wexler is a surrogate that Barack Obama should be grateful to have on his team. The Florida Congressman squared off against Republican Eric Cantor yesterday on “Late Edition” and did what every surrogate should do whenever the issue of campaign finance comes up; namely point out that John McCain is breaking his own campaign finance laws as we speak.

CNN: And one other thing — Senator McCain’s not in the osition to speak about this. He used his public financing as collateral to get a loan, and then, low and behold, he didn’t use it, and he broke the law.

I didn’t watch all the Sunday news shows last week, but I’m pretty sure Wexler was the only person — surrogate or otherwise — to make the observation that John McCain has absolutely no standing to lecture others on “failing to keep their word” on the issue of campaign finance reform. Why Democratic spokespeople aren’t on top of this talking point is beyond me.
