How much money did McCain get from Fannie and Freddie mac?
No candidate can accept money directly from companies including Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae. However, company employees can donate money to candidates. The New York Times has published a separate list looking at contributions from "directors, officers, and lobbyists for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac" for the 2008 campaign cycle. That list - using figures from the Federal Election Commission - shows McCain receiving $169,000, while Obama received only $16,000. John McCain's campaign manager, Rick Davis, was hired-to the tune of nearly $2 million over five years paid almost exclusively by Fannie and Freddie-to head an advocacy group formed to lobby McCain and Congress against regulating Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

The list shows McCain has received a total of $21,550 in 26 years from Fannie and Freddie employees. The list includes donations of at least $200 from those who receive paychecks from Fannie and Freddie. It also includes donations from political action committees - pooled contributions from employees.
