Actually, the four democrats served the remainder of their terms then the big three didn't run for re-election. Glenn, of course, was re-elected in 1994. Also, didn't Willie name one of the big three (Cranston, maybe?) as an appointee to the Federal Mortgage something or another during his first term? I mean, there was a lot the McCain shouldn't have been doing during that time; but the Dems weren't exactly squeeky clean themselves. I just don't see the point in saying "Twenty years ago, John McCain 'Maverickly' reached across the aisle and helped four of my fellow Democrats destroy the savings and retirement of many an elderly person and caused over 21,000 banks to fail by helping this Keating fellow."

To me, it just makes both parties look less desirable. And, by way of him being the Democratic nominee, Obama loses desirability.

Edit: Just fact checked, it was DeConcini who was placed on the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation. Better known as Freddie Mac. See, bringing this up makes Obama's fellow Democrats look like Douches, too.
