Author – The Real McCain: Why Conservatives Don't Trust Him and Why Independents Shouldn't (professional)

2008-05-01

Cliff Schecter's hard-hitting profile explores the gap between the public record of Senator John McCain and his media image. Drawing on a range of sources and adding his unique perspective and humor, Schecter guides the reader though McCain's long history of expedient flip-flops, especially on his signature issues of national security and campaign finance reform. Far from a straight-talking maverick, McCain emerges as a political chameleon who will do or say virtually anything to be president.
