McCain's advisers include a wide range of veteran party strategists and former top policymakers.

Very interesting information in this article. It covers McCain's major advisors, where they came from and what they advocate. It is information that should be read by all voters because it gives the reader insight into McCain's probable policies if he should be elected. There are some inaccuracies here, possibly because it's an old article and doesn't reflect some of McCain's recent congressional votes (e.g. I've read that McCain voted against the bill that would have outlawed water boarding; the article states that he believes we should "ban interrogation methods characterized by many as torture"). Generally, an informative article with little criticism, but the informative speaks for itself.
Not much new here, other than showing that Mr. McCain, against some of his own prior policy, has aligned himself with the same group of completely untrustworthy "experts" that have gotten the US into this mess in Iraq! How could anyone take Mr. Kristol seriously anymore in regards to foreign policy?! So, even though the story is biased in making the point that McCain has aligned with this dubious brain trust, it fails to do anything to promote McCain's stance as an "agent for change". with a population that is now putting these names together with their blunders!
