Good News for Al Franken- Sen. Coleman tied to Pro Burmese Firm

The same firm that forced McCain's top advisors to resign.

Norm Coleman took contributions from embattled DCI Group

The campaign of Sen. Norm Coleman, R-Minn., took funds from the DCI Group, a lobbying group criticized for its dealings with the oppressive military regime of Myanmar, Federal Elections Commission records show. The Coleman campaign took $6000 from DCI Group senior leadership and partners and political action committee.

Sen. John McCain's campaign took a hit over the weekend when his appointed manager to the Republican National Convention, Doug Goodyear, resigned when Newsweek reported that Goodyear's lobbying firm, the DCI Group, did $348,000 worth of business with the regime of Myanmar. A day later, Doug Davenport, a regional manager for McCain resigned when his employment with DCI Group was revealed.

Convention organizers are still looking for a replacement for Goodyear
