McCain revives 'Straight Talk' campaign fund


Sen. John McCain (R-Arizona), a failed 2000 presidential candidate, has revived his Straight Talk America political action committee.

The PAC has not received any donations [FEC filing] but an adviser said McCain has been "inundated" with requests to campaign on behalf of other candidates, The Washington Post reported. The adviser wouldn't comment on a 2008 presidential bid.
