How John McCain Lost Me
By: Elizabeth Drew, Politico, Sept. 17, 2008

Tesibria Note: I'm including Ms. Drew's piece because she previously authored "Citizen McCain", a book that, per Publisher's Weekly, reflected as follows: "In Drew's view, McCain provides a rare example of leadership as he makes numerous media appearances including one as the sole guest of Jay Leno designed to reassure the public after the terrorist attacks. In that regard, the book's title is revealing. For Drew, McCain is a man to whom the title "citizen" attaches as an honorific without irony, the reference to Orson Wells's manipulative Kane notwithstanding."
