The Making (and Remaking) of McCain STUMPED SPEECH Sarah Palin and John McCain at the Delaware County Courthouse in Media, Pa., on Sept. 22. As late as June, one aide said, the campaign could not agree on an answer to the question ‘‘Why elect John McCain?’’ nytimes.com On the morning of Wednesday, Sept. 24, John McCain convened a meeting in his suite at the Hilton hotel in Midtown Manhattan. Among the handful of campaign officials in attendance were McCain’s chief campaign strategist, Steve Schmidt, and his other two top advisers: Rick Davis, the campaign manager; and Mark Salter, McCain’s longtime speechwriter. The senator’s ears were already throbbing with bad news from economic advisers and from House Republican leaders who had told him that only a small handful in their ranks were willing to support the $700 billion bailout of the banking industry proposed by Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson. The meeting was to focus on how McCain should respond to the crisis — but also, as one participant later told me, “to try to see this as a big-picture, leadership thing.” [long article] comments (178) By ROBERT DRAPER Published: October 22, 2008 - Robert Draper is a correspondent for GQ and the author of “Dead Certain: The Presidency of George W. Bush.” This article has been revised to reflect the following correction: Correction: October 25, 2008 The cover article on Page 52 this weekend about Senator John McCain’s campaign misspells the given name of Mr. McCain’s fellow senator from Arizona and the surname of the governor of Florida, both McCain supporters. The other Arizona senator is Jon Kyl, not John, and the Florida governor is Charlie Crist, not Christ. The article also misstates the name of the Ohio city where some McCain campaign staff members first met with Mr. McCain’s running mate, Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska. It is Middletown, not Middleton. And the article overstates the duties of Tucker Eskew, a member of Ms. Palin’s team. He is officially her counselor, not her chief of staff, though campaign officials say that he performs many of the same duties. A version of this article appeared in print on October 26, 2008, on page MM54 of the New York edition.
