"John McCain is 'Mobbed Up'?" McCain's possible ties to the Mafia need study.

[Duke Newcombe]

How possible do you believe it is, that someone of McCain's stature and position would be hanging around people with influence and "juice" in the gaming industry--some who are mob influenced, or quite possibly members of the Mafia? And how prudent would it be to put a man in the White House, who is capable of influencing law enforcement policy towards organized crime. We know that even in 2008, there is a Mob element in the gaming industry, operating behind the scenes of "legitimate gaming corporations". This has me worried. Any insight on this?

5. For one thing,

look at the origin of his wife's family fortune, which financed his entry into politics.

I was beginning to put two and two together, but this post and the comments have cleared things up a bit for me.
