How did Sen. Obama manage to rank #2 in Congress in donations from employees of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac ?

Q: According to Yahoo! News: http://news.yahoo.com/s/bloomberg/20080916/pl_bloomberg/a5ofc20bsi_1 McCain hit back at a rally in Vienna, Ohio, pointing out that Obama ranked second among members of Congress in donations from employees of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the mortgage companies placed into federal conservatorship on Sept. 7. He also reminded the audience that Obama originally put former Fannie Mae Chairman James Johnson in charge of his vice presidential candidate search. ``That's not change, that's what's broken in Washington,'' said McCain, an Arizona senator, said at the afternoon rally. http://news.yahoo.com/s/bloomberg/20080916/pl_bloomberg/a5ofc20bsi_1 He's only been a Senator for one term

A: No lobbyists are backing McCain. They used to be lobbyists. Besides, Obama has Raines and Johnson, the guys that DOOMED Fannie Mae.
