...Though I differ with McCain on specific issues, I?ve always admired his maverick spirit and straight-talk approach to the press. But his interview with TIME raises grave concerns. McCain could have defused legitimate questions about his campaign?s new discipline in any number of ways, but to put reporters from a major newsmagazine in the deep freeze betrays a fundamental lack of self-control, not to mention candor. Do we really want to elect such a mercurial individual as our Commander in Chief? Owen Prell, Mill Valley, California...

...taken a back seat to things far less consequential.John McCain’s campaign manager Rick Davis recently said that, “This election is not about issues. This election is about a composite view of what people take away from these candidates.” This cynical approach, which has dominated American politics for too long, only confirms that John McCain is no maverick, but instead is willing to embrace the same false narrative that has distracted our country for years from the real and pressing challenges that face...
