When a manufacturer adds “new and improved!” to their advertising, it’s probably a safe bet that it is, in fact, neither. In this sense, McCain is a “new and improved!” Republican. Inside the box, you still have the same old neo-facist- but with different packaging.

Today’s proof of that: McCain has hired a campaign manager.

Nelson was an unindicted co-conspirator in the TRMPAC scandal as a key point of contact between Tom Delay and the RNC. He was James Tobin’s boss during the 2002 New Hampshire phone-jamming scandal, for which Tobin was convicted. He also worked at the head of opposition research for the NRCC this cycle, where robocalls from Republicans pretending to be Democrats were the norm all over the country. Nelson also produced the racist bimbo ad against Harold Ford.

McCain didn’t put his name on the McCain-Feingold act because he was a beleiver in running clean campaigns- he put his name on the McCain-Feingold act because he’d recently had a close call with being one of the Keating Five. If you think he’s going to run a nice, clean campaign, unlike all those other Republicans, think again.
