Another day, another change in "belief" for the principled one. Back in 2000, he was rightly appalled when then Governor Bush's hatchet men skewered him in South Carolina, launching all sorts of false attacks against McCain and his family. Now, however, these very bottom-dwellers are on his payroll. The first paragraph of the New York Times article covering McCain's change of heart spells it out: Senator John McCain, intent on succeeding where his freewheeling presidential campaign of 2000 failed, is assembling a team of political bruisers for 2008. And it includes advisers who once sought to skewer him and whose work he has criticized as stepping over the line in the past. But read the whole thing, it's good. |
