Interesting interview with Arianna Huffington, who presents her views on a number of topics, including the alleged statement by John McCain that he did not vote for Bush in 2000. Many of her comments are insightful, and appear generally based on factual evidence, though some will find them controversial. Because this is an interview format, no independent viewpoints or additional sources are presented here, which makes this largely a platform for presenting Arianna's opinions, rather than an impartial news report. That said, I gained new information from this piece and look forward to reading other views and reports to strenghten my understanding of this topic.

This is a good interview on the great character change of McCain and the failure of the right wing corporate media to bring attention to the inconsistencies.

Good interview with Arianna where talks she about many things--like the Newt man (Gingrich), HuffPost, and McCain.

Gets one of the principals to tell her own story. A lot of it is "what I felt" but there's a lot of information that can be corroborated. I think people feel shy about looking too closely at John McCain. Let's get over it.
