...McCain has no shortage of other people critiquing his record as well. His campaign has had to endure a string of third-party attacks, including one nasty message alleging that the former Vietnam POW had somehow betrayed his fellow American captives.

But there, as everywhere, the political landscape is changed in unpredictable ways. The state's solid G.O.P. machine has fragmented into factions only occasionally willing to cooperate. One belongs to Senator Lindsey Graham, a devoted McCain supporter. Another faction, which includes the much feared strategist Warren Tompkins, is in Romney's camp, while the widow and one son of the late mastermind Carroll Campbell have signed...
