Although in all seriousness, you do wonder why McCain got involved.
From the article:

"If you want to figure out why Senator John McCain is involving himself in the Phoenix Coyotes mess, just follow the money.
1. Bud Light is a big sponsor of the Coyotes. Go to the www.PhoenixCoyotes.com website, and Bud Light is the first thing you will see.
2. Hensley & Co. of Phoenix is the third biggest Anheuser Busch (Budweiser) distributor in the U.S., and presumably sells a lot of beer at the Coyotes games. Even people with free tickets in a papered house still drink lots of beer at a hockey game.
3. The Chairman of the Board of Hensley & Co., and largest shareholder, is Cindy McCain (nee Hensley), wife of Senator John McCain.
4. Just follow the money."

I'm afraid that this make perfectly good sense - there HAS TO BE a reason for McCain to back this deal, cause it just the kinda thing that he is 'against' politically...
