K-Street to McCain
The tireless Jonathan Martin of Politico notes that there's a K-Street event for John McCain next week. It surely isn't the last. McCain may be a reformer but he's not a monk. He has plenty of ties to Washington lobbyists. You have to say that one of the big winners of the unlikely McCain triumph is Ken Duberstein, Reagan's last chief of staff, the man who guided the Clarence Thomas nomination through the Senate (and was played by Mandy Patinkin in the Showtime movie) and head of The Duberstein Group. He's close to McCain, backed him in 2000. Richard Armitage's consulting business won't hurt under a president McCain and Skadden, Aarps where McCain's lawyer, Bob Bennett works might fare well too. The Washington Post's Jeff Birnbaum has noted McCain's ties to K Street here. Former RNC Finance Chair Wayne Berman could do well, too. And anyone from the Commerce Committee that McCain chaired between 1997 and 2005 could be in luck, too.
