John McCain has deep ties to gambling industry lobbyists -- and the New York Times (http://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/28/us/politics/28gambling-web.html?_r=1&em=&adxnnl=1&oref=slogin&pagewanted=all&adxnnlx=1222797970-V9XkOUJn2kHmw7Dm6qpvgA) just reported that he went on a gambling spree in the high-stakes room at Foxwoods Casino that lasted deep into the night.

McCain apparently loves to gamble at the Indian casinos he is supposed to regulate on the Senate Indian Affairs Committee, even tossing $100-chips around the craps table with lobbyists for the very same casinos.

But the gambling McCain does at the craps table is nothing compared to the way he gambled with our economy -- he and his Republican allies pushed the financial deregulation that got us into this mess.

Our team put together a short video that exposes McCain's high stakes, high risk lobbyist connections. Watch the video now and make sure your friends know about McCain's gambles:

If this link does not work go to:

"A lifelong gambler, Mr. McCain takes risks, both on and off the craps table," said the Times article.

For McCain, living the high-roller lobbyist lifestyle has always been a no-lose proposition -- all he had to risk was the economic security of American families. He even supported George Bush's plan to gamble with your retirement by privatizing Social Security.

But as a former aide tried to tell him while discouraging his gambling, "[G]ood things don't happen in casinos at midnight."

Americans need to know that good things don't happen with John McCain in the White House.

Watch our new web video and make sure everyone you know sees that John McCain is a risk we can't afford to take:
