McCain gave $3,500 to N.C. pols


U.S. Sen. John McCain has not given much to North Carolina candidates.

The Republican presidential nominee's political action committee, Straight Talk America, has given just $3,500 in recent years to Tar Heel Republicans, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.

In 2000, the leadership PAC gave a $1,000 donation to U.S. Rep. Robin Hayes, a Concord Republican, and in 2006 it gave $2,500 to U.S. Sen. Richard Burr, a Winston-Salem Republican.

Previously: Barack Obama's PAC gave $10,000 to U.S. Rep. Heath Shuler
