McCain: The untold story


Tim Dickinson of the Rolling Stone has written a scathing article about Senator John McCain - read it here. All ten pages of it!

Compelling writing aside, this is an unflattering piece that seems to be well researched and therefore comes across as credible and leaves McCain exposed.

Vietnam, Rio and his divorce, as well as some three damaged planes will leave you wondering whether this is positive journalism or an Obama campaign orchestrated effort. However, abhor McCain or worship him, this piece will leave you with a stale palate.

The Rolling Stone endorsed Senator Obama, and for this reason, people who would have otherwise been swayed by this article will remain sceptical, therefore limiting the impact of an otherwise potential poll changing piece. After saying this, I can still see a number of independents firming their affiliation with the Obama campaign. That is how strong I believe it is.

This is my take: Captivating from page one and not lacking in satire and knife twisting! Highly effective to convince the borderline independent who needs something to sway his already made up mind about supporting Senator Obama!

Enjoy!
