McCain signs up another Texan
The game of musical Texans continues at John McCain’s presidential campaign, this time with one joining the team.
Former Commerce Secretary Robert Mosbacher of Houston is now general chairman of the struggling campaign.
Here’s the latest scorecard on Texans on board with McCain:
John Weaver, longtime senior adviser to McCain, out.
Mark McKinnon, unpaid adviser, in.
Tom Loeffler, in charge of fundraising, in.
Mosbacher, commerce secretary under President George H.W. Bush, has been raising money for McCain for several months. The federal government also now might provide money for McCain. The Federal Election Commission reported today that McCain’s financially troubled campaign is now eligible for matching funds. Campaign officials, however, say no decision has been made on whether to take the money, which comes with some restrictions on how it can be spent.
