Ken Burns Weighs Inby: Jennifer DalerMon Oct 06, 2008 at 12:12:07 PM EDT |
New Hampshire based documentary filmmaker Ken Burns has a column at Huffington Post titled This is Not the John McCain New Hampshire Once Loved The last paragraph says it all, We in New Hampshire bear some responsibility, I suppose. Thinking we had the old McCain, we gave him a decisive victory in our primary that permitted him to vanquish those challengers. But he betrayed us. If you have to say you're a maverick in your ads, it's clear you're not. The real maverick turns out to be Barack Obama, who bucked his party's establishment and whose once-lonely positions have been adopted by nearly everyone including even the Bush administration. Nearly everyone, that is, except John McCain. So what happened to him? especially the last sentence. |
