The McCain-Huddleston/Hyperion Connection
I don't know how much this has been reported in the SDMSM or on the blogs, but I stumbled across this 2006 post on the Huffington Post regarding an interesting intersection of money, Presidential politics, South Dakota, and oil.

And from ABC's April 23, 06 story, Gearing Up for '08? McCain Befriends Old Enemies,
Also co-chairing the [John McCain] event are Rob Allyn, a Texas PR man who was paid $46,000 to produce the Wylys' "Republicans for Clean Air" ads, and businessmen Albert Huddleston and Harold Simmons, who gave $100,000 and $3 million respectively to the controversial independent group, "Swift Vets & POWs for Truth." McCain called "dishonest and dishonorable" the "Swift Vets" group's 2004 campaign ads that helped sink the presidential chances of Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass.

Yikes. Don't open the "relationships" door, unless you want a litany of nefarious Obama cronies,
I'm just sayin.'
But I would like to know what the Hyperion connection is...I am not really up on that or who is involved. Honest question.
