Baker Boys Back Each Other

By Kleinheider Posted on June 12, 2008 at 6:55 pm

Senator Lamar Alexander defends John McCain’s Veep Vetter, Arthur Culvahouse:

A request for comment from the McCain campaign directly was not answered.

But other Republicans rushed to Culvahouse’s defense. Senate Republican Conference Chairman Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.), who has known Culvahouse since the two native Tennesseans worked for Sen. Howard Baker (R-Tenn.), said Culvahouse is “one of America’s best-respected and most able lawyers.”

Culvahouse’s counsel to Reagan during the Iran-Contra hearings also should not harm McCain, Alexander said.

“That’s what lawyers do, they help clients deal with problems and President Reagan had a problem,” Alexander said. “If he was President Reagan’s lawyer in 1987 and 1988 and he was not involved in Iran-Contra, he should have been fired for malpractice.”

    Please pass on to Arthur from a concerned Republican that McCain’s only chance is to select Sarah Palin for VP. This will generate a great deal of buzz. She is everything he needs right now. Dare Obama to question her lack of experience. She will give the American public what they want, and that is change. She will grab a lot of the female vote. I know the landscape out there and she is his only chance!
