Does McCain Know Who His Constituency Is?

By Michael Costello | 09/12/08

If John McCain should bumble his way to victory in November, he might have the New York Times to thank. This last February, after it became clear that McCain was the default nominee of the Republicans, the Times published on its front page a poorly sourced story intimating that McCain was involved in an affair with an attractive lady lobbyist.
