So after the Obama campaign brought up this scandal from his past, how would McCain react? In the worst manner possible. By implying that the Keating Five investigation was a “political smear job” and the investigator was a “stooge” of the Democratic machine. So what was the worst mistake of his life all about? And if he really hadn’t done anything wrong, then why the attempts at building a reformer image after the investigation? You can’t have it both ways.
If McCain goes down to defeat this November which seems increasingly likely then he would have done some serious damage to his legacy and case studies will be published on how not to run a campaign. But if he ekes out a win, then I shudden to think of the future of political campaigning.
