	State: MacKay's timing? It's not his buddy
		It was supposed to be a day when MacKay could jump-start his campaign by bringing in his friend in the White House, raising some badly needed cash and reaffirming that the president's policy positions also are his own.
		MacKay hoped the Clinton fund-raisers would be a turning point for his campaign.
		MacKay was careful not to condone Clinton's personal behavior, and his decision to stand by his friend of nearly 20 years might even win him some points for loyalty among some voters.
