Who would have figured it...Mac Daddy McCain likes to throw the bones (from a May, 2005 profile of John McCain in The New Yorker by Connie Bruck): McCain is an avid gambler. Wes Gullett, a close friend who worked for...

A little about me:
I'm 34, male, and live in Las Vegas. I'm a political junky, though I haven't worked in politics since 2004, when I was a senior staffer on the Hill. Now I write, blog, and post the occasional
