They said Mr. Daviss firm, Davis & Manafort, had been kept on the payroll because of Mr. Daviss close ties to Mr. McCain, the Republican presidential nominee, who by 2006 was widely expected to run again for the White House."</p> </div> <a href="/blog/54416-mccain-advisor-rick-davis-paid-by-freddie-mac-until-aug-08">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/47358-mccain-withdrawal-in-1-month 2008-08-21T12:52:25Z tpmtv <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/kIlzbjnJi1Q&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/kIlzbjnJi1Q&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/47358-mccain-withdrawal-in-1-month"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/56108" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>John McCain on Larry King Live, July 28, 2008</p> </div> <a href="/blog/47358-mccain-withdrawal-in-1-month">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/41334-it-s-a-beautiful-day 2008-10-12T00:42:56Z jessicapeanut <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/DJy0wzSJ8mk&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/DJy0wzSJ8mk&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/41334-it-s-a-beautiful-day"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/46596" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>for music month</p> </div> <a href="/blog/41334-it-s-a-beautiful-day">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/36154-911-truth-tucson-may-11th-demonstration 2008-06-16T03:32:30Z J.T.
