"McCain had role in original Wilmington DHL deal." ... "When [2008 Election] Republican presidential candidate John McCain meets Thursday with citizens and officials in Wilmington, Ohio, he won't need a playbook to understand why they're worried about deep job losses at the local freight airport." ... "Little known to those citizens, McCain and his campaign manager, Rick Davis, played roles in the fate of DHL Express and its Ohio air park as far back as 2003. Back then, however, their actions that helped DHL and its German owner, Deutsche Post World Net, acquire the Wilmington operations resulted in expansion, not retraction." ... "In a private meeting Thursday, Wilmington residents will ask McCain for help in stopping DHL's proposal to quit using the airport as a hub, which could cost more than 8,000 jobs. DHL says that it wants to stay in the freight business but that it can stem financial losses if it can put its packages aboard the planes of a rival - United Parcel Service - before delivering them in DHL trucks. UPS flies out of Louisville, Ky. [Kentucky], so the proposed change would render the Wilmington airport unnecessary." ... "None of that was anticipated in 2003, when McCain and Davis, who was a Washington lobbyist before managing the presidential campaign, first got involved. Several Wilmington civic leaders said that what happened in 2003 created an economic gain for their community, lasting several years." ... "But because that gain, and now the prospective loss, came from the decisions of a foreign-owned corporation, look for some Democrats and labor to seek to tie Wilmington's current troubles to McCain." ... ""Those jobs are on the chopping block because [Arizona Senator] Sen. McCain and his campaign were involved in a deal that resulted in control of those positions being shifted to a foreign corporation, and there's no getting around that," said Joe Rugola, president of the Ohio AFL-CIO." ... "Isaac Baker, a spokesman for [2008 Election] Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, said, "This episode represents everything that's wrong with Washington, D.C."

"Home prices down 15.8% in past year, S&P says: Seven of 20 cities tally monthly price gains in May, Case-Shiller data show." ... "Prices in 10 cities fell 16.9% in the past year." ... "Prices thus are at the same levels as they were in the summer of 2004, which means four years of appreciation have been effectively wiped out. Prices are down 18.4% from peak levels seen two years ago." ... "Here's a list of the 20 cities in the Case-Shiller index with the annual decline through May: Las Vegas [Nevada], down 28.4%; Miami [Florida], down 28.3%; Phoenix [Arizona], down 26.5%; Los Angeles [California], down 24.5%; San Diego [California], down 23.2%; San Francisco [California], down 22.9%; Tampa [Florida], down 20.2%; Detroit [Michigan], down 17.4%; Washington [DC], down 15.4%; Minneapolis [Minnesota], down 14.8%; Chicago [Illinois], down 9.4%; Cleveland [Ohio], down 8%; Atlanta [Georgia], and New York [City, New York], both down 7.9%; Seattle [Washington], down 6.3%; Boston [Massachusetts], down 6.2%; Portland [Oregon], down 5.2%; Denver [Colorado], down 4.8%; Dallas [Texas], down 3.1%; and Charlotte, N.C.

"McCain Allies Find Finance-Law Holes: Governors' Fund Recruits Big Donors; Bid to Catch Obama." ... "Allies of [2008 Election Republican Presidential Candidate and Arizona Senator] Sen. John McCain have found new loopholes in the campaign-finance law he helped write -- and they're using them to reel in huge contributions to help him compete with [2008 Election Democratic Presidential Candidate and Illinois Senator] Sen. Barack Obama." ... "In one method, a Republican Party fund aimed at electing governors has started marketing itself as a home for contributions of unlimited size to help Sen. McCain. His 2002 campaign law limits donations to presidential races to try to curtail the influence of wealth." ... "The Republican Governors Association isn't subject to those limits, and has long gathered up large donations from individuals and companies. Now it is telling donors it can use their contributions to benefit Sen. McCain in some key battleground states." ... "Altogether, individuals can give $108,000 to federal campaigns within each two-year election cycle." ... "Donors with deep pockets also can avoid limits completely by contributing to groups called 527 organizations, after a provision in the tax code." ... "The [Republican] governors group counts a number of large corporations among its donors, including WellPoint Inc. [Incorporated] at $200,000, and Pfizer Inc. [Incorporated], Bank of America Corp. [Corporation] and Travelers Cos. [Companies] at $150,000 or more." ... "Texas developer Bob Perry, the largest financial backer of the Swift Boat group [that attacked the military service of 2004 Election Democratic Presidential Candidate John Kerry], also is the largest individual donor to the governors group, at $250,000. Carl Lindner, a retired insurance executive in Ohio and another top Swift Boat financier, has contributed $100,000 to the governors' fund. The campaign-finance lawyer for the Swift Boat group in 2004 now serves the same role for the governors association." ... "In another Republican strategy, the McCain campaign itself last month began soliciting its biggest donations yet -- up to $70,100 per check." -By Brody Mullins and T.W. Farnam -WSJ.com

"McCain Backer's Firm Pleaded Guilty To Funding Terrorist Group In Colombia." ... "The co-host of a recent top-dollar fundraiser for [2008 Election Republican Presidential Candidate and Arizona Senator] Sen. John McCain oversaw the payment of roughly $1.7 million to a Colombian paramilitary group that is today designated a terrorist organization by the United States." ... "Carl H. Lindner Jr., the billionaire Cincinnati [Ohio] businessman, was CEO [Chief Executive Officer] of Chiquita Brands International from 1984 to 2001, and remained on the company's board of directors until May 2002. Beginning under his tenure, Chiquita executives paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to the United Self-Defense Forces of Colombia (known by the Spanish acronym AUC), which is described by George Washington University's National Security Archive as an "illegal right-wing anti-guerrilla group tied to many of the country's most notorious civilian massacres."" ... "Following a Justice Department indictment [pdf] last year, Chiquita admitted to illegally funding the paramilitaries and agreed to pay a $25 million fine. Chiquita's payments to the AUC began in 1997 and lasted seven years; roughly half of the funds came after the group was designated a Foreign Terrorist Organization by the U.S. State Department in 2001." ... "According to the Justice Department, the payments "were reviewed and approved by senior executives" of Chiquita, who knew by no later than September 2000 "that the AUC was a violent, paramilitary organization."" ... "Late last week, Lindner co-hosted a $25,000-per-person fundraiser for McCain and the Republican Party in the wealthy Indian Hills neighborhood of Cincinnati, Ohio. The event raised about $2 million; Lindner also serves on McCain's Ohio Victory Team." ... "While Lindner was CEO of Chiquita, the company began sending money to the AUC through its shipping subsidiary Banadex. A report by the Organization of American States states that Banadex also engaged in arms trafficking, helping to deliver 3,000 Nicaraguan AK-47 rifles and millions of rounds of ammunition to the AUC in 2001. According to federal prosecutors, when company officials realized the arrangement was illegal, they switched to making the payments in cash." -By Nico Pitney -HuffingtonPost.com

Election - "McCain's
Spiritual Guide: Destroy Islam." ... "[2008 Election
Republican Presidential Candidate and Arizona] Senator John McCain hailed
as a spiritual adviser an Ohio megachurch pastor who has called upon Christians
to wage a "war" against the "false religion" of Islam with the aim of destroying
it." ... "On February 26, McCain appeared at a campaign rally in Cincinnati
[Ohio] with the Reverend Rod Parsley of the World Harvest Church of Columbus
[Ohio], a supersize Pentecostal institution that features a 5,200-seat
sanctuary, a television studio (where Parsley tapes a weekly show), and
a 122,000-square-foot Ministry Activity Center. That day, a week before
the Ohio primary, Parsley praised the Republican presidential front-runner
as a "strong, true, consistent conservative." The endorsement was important
for McCain, who at the time was trying to put an end to the lingering challenge
from [2008 Election Republican Presidential Candidate] former Arkansas
governor Mike Huckabee, a favorite among Christian evangelicals. A politically
influential figure in Ohio, Parsley could also play a key role in McCain's
effort to win this bellwether state in the general election. McCain, with
Parsley by his side at the Cincinnati rally, called the evangelical minister
a "spiritual guide."" ... "In a chapter titled "Islam: The Deception of
Allah," Parsley warns there is a "war between Islam and Christian civilization."

Election - "Lobbyist
to run McCain's Hill effort." ... "Presumptive [2008
Election] Republican presidential candidate [and Arizona Senator] Sen.
John McCain has engaged a leading GOP [GOP=Grand Old Party=Republican]
lobbyist to coordinate his message and travel schedule with congressional
Republicans —the most concrete sign yet that the biggest battleground in
the 2008 presidential race may not be Pennsylvania or Ohio or Florida’s
I-4 corridor but rather the floor of the United States Senate." ... "John
Green, a founding partner of what is now Ogilvy Government Relations, will
soon take a leave of absence from that firm to work as a full-time liaison
between McCain’s presidential campaign and Republicans in the House and
the Senate, according to GOP aides on Capitol Hill and McCain surrogates
downtown. Green, a Mississippi native, has strong ties in the Senate after
his years of work for [Mississippi Republican Senator and] former Senate
Majority Leader Trent Lott (R-Miss. [Republican-Mississippi]), a vocal
McCain supporter who left Congress late last year to set up his own lobbying
shop." ... "Green is part of a small cadre of lobbyists who have met regularly
to help build support for McCain on Capitol Hill. The group, which includes
fellow Ogilvy partner [lobbyist] Wayne Berman, has been helping the senator
secure congressional endorsements in recent weeks to ensure he solidifies
his status as the GOP front-runner." -By Martin Kady

Presidential Candidate Barack] Obama departed from his regular stump speech
today in Columbus [Ohio's capital] to respond to [2008 Election Republican
Presidential Candidate] John McCain." ... ""John McCain may like to say
he wants to follow Osama bin Laden to the gates of Hell, but so far all
he’s done is follow George Bush into a misguided war in Iraq," he said."
... ""McCain thought that he could make a clever point by saying, 'Well
let me give you some news, Barack, Al Qaeda is in Iraq,' like I
wasn’t reading the papers, like [I] didn’t know what was going on." Obama
said, leaning into his developing McCain impression." ... "He then described
the context -- a hypothetical question from Tim Russert -- and said, "First
of all, I do know Al Qaeda is in Iraq, and that’s why I said we should
continue to strike Al Qaeda targets."" ... ""I have some news for John
McCain," Obama continued, "That’s there was no Al Qaeda in Iraq until George
Bush and John McCain" began the Iraq war, he said." ... ""They took their
eye off the people who really were responsible for 9/11," he said." -By
