Analysis: Flap conflicts with McCain's image

Sent from Express News
WASHINGTON - John McCain's campaign angst over his lobbyist ties is putting the Republican in conflict with his carefully honed reformer image. It's also giving Democratic rival Barack Obama an opening to paint him as nothing more than a Washington creature.

"The fact is, John McCain's campaign is being run by Washington lobbyists and paid for by their money," Obama argued Monday in Billings, Mont. - far from the Beltway. "I'm not in this race to continue the special interest-driven politics of the last eight years. I'm in this race to end it."
