...Back in 1999, McCain first came to Peterborough as a long shot. As he tells the story now, McCain's campaign tried to fill the town's main hall by promising free ice cream, but so few people came, they ended up holding the event in the basement. Months later, McCain held his last town hall before the primary there. And then he beat George W. Bush, establishing his national identity as a straight-talking reformer.

The Senator threw an arm around Sara Beal's neck, pulled her to him and whispered in her ear. By the time he let her go about five minutes...
