another link between McCain and Abramoff

McCain nets $1.75 million at Reed-linked event

ATLANTA – John McCain raised more than $1.75 million for Republicans Monday at a fundraiser that became high profile after a political operative connected to disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff promoted it.

The event was promoted by Ralph Reed, former head of the Christian Coalition. McCain's campaign said it was organized by the Republican National Committee — not Reed, who was linked to the Abramoff scandal that McCain investigated in the Senate.
