Robert Draper offers a look inside the McCain campaign with the emphasis on where things went wrong. If this piece is correct — and one assumes we'll be seeing alternative views — then McCain's chief campaign strategist Steve Schmidt made a lot of really bad calls and McCain deferred way too much to him.
What's most interesting about this "inside the campaign" piece and a couple of others we've seen in the last week or so is that they're being written now. We usually see a lot of these articles after an election when everyone feels freer to talk and they want to get their version "out there" about how they deserve the credit for everything that went right and they warned everyone about the things that went wrong. Apparently, some folks in the McCain campaign feel it can't wait until after Election Day.
