McCain Decries Citizens United And Adelson Campaign Donations

On a conference call with reporters Wednesday, Romney-surrogate Sen. John McCain acknowledged that campaign finance and McCain-Feingold was an area in which he and Mitt Romney disagreed. Though McCain defended his endorsement saying that this wasn’t as important an issue right now as jobs, he went on to decry the Citizens United decision that lead to the creation of super PACs as a “shame.”

“I predict a scandal in connection to the Citizens United decision,” McCain said on the call. He then took aim at casino mogul Sheldon Adelson who has donated $10 million to Gingrich’s campaign: “One family putting $10 million into a single race. That’s not what the Founding Fathers had in mind.”
