For one thing, McCain - the Arizona senator who's one of a handful of contenders for the GOP's 2008 nomination - has enjoyed a long friendship with FedEx founder and CEO Frederick W. Smith. McCain's presidential exploratory committee was co-chaired by none other than Smith, a Vietnam veteran like McCain. FedEx Lobbyists Get Smith Everything He Wants from McCain [B]McCain Led the Floor Fight for Republicans for Provision that Benefited FedEx; McCain Received $6,000 from FedEx PAC.[/B] According to Roll Call, "Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott (R-Miss) absolutely, positively wanted the Senate to adjourn last Monday. But Lott couldn't deliver on his promise because of a battle over a provision to the Federal Aviation Administration bill that benefited Federal Express. Leave it to the world’s oldest deliberative body to spend three days debating the definition of ‘express carrier.' ... Shuster led the fight on the House floor to keep the FedEx provision in the bill. In addition, Shuster is one of a handful of lawmakers who has received at least $10,000 in contributions from FedEx's PAC in this election cycle. ... Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz), who led the floor fight for Republicans, raked in $6,000." [/QUOTE]
