TW: Here are two columns on McCain. David Brooks' (NYT) basic message is that McCain may have run hard to the right in campaign using Rovian tactics but if elected will like Cinderella magically morph back into the maverick man of honor and judgment he used to be. Judis (New Republic) rebuts Brooks with the obvious. Whether McCain was a maverick or not (TW: and that is highly debatable), McCain of 2008 cannot be reconciled with the recklessness he has displayed with the Palin pick, his interference in the financial crisis and his aggressive embrace of the right wing nut elements of his party.
