Does anyone have a copy of Chait's 2002 New Republic article?

The entire premise of this article was, by its own admission, totally wrong. Why would anyone put anyone buy into the “facts” that lead it to that flawed speculation?

This reads oddly like a light on substance hit-piece written by a Flip Romney sycophant...

This is good as far as it goes, but it doesn't address the probable root cause of McCain's long history of being an enabler of the Democrats.

I did read an article addressing that very issue long ago, but don't have a pointer to it.

The story involved the Senate Ethics Committee, Minority Leader Bob Dole, the Keating Five (Lincoln S&L scandal) and a tight re-election race faced by Jesse Helms (R-NC) in '90. Based on McCain's strong emotional reaction, as related by an anonymous witness who attended a GOP Senate leadership meeting, it appeared as though McCain believed fellow Republicans had stabbed him in the back.

The article did make a good, though circumstantial, case for a possible motivation for McCain wanting to get revenge on Republicans.

Just say NO to RINO Rudy and his liberal B.S. ways.

I thought I saw a copy at GOA, but couldn’t find it.

They don’t have much good to say about him at all:

McCain has a record of working with Democrats and not supporting the policies of the president from the tax cut in 2001 to “torture” of terrorists.

He’s changed his tune lately with the “surge.”

I’m scared about the beltway types praising McCain and in the back of my mind is the idea that insiders (maybe even the president) had to promise McCain the nomination in 2008.

Stop McCain anyway you know how.

I’d vote Romney in New Hampshire if I lived there just for that purpose.
