Taegan Goddard's Political Insider blog has some interesting news from John McCain's US Presidential campaign. No-one knows who's in charge, by the look of it. Taegan quotes the New York Times as stating:
...his campaign is once again a swirl of competing spheres of influence, clusters of friends, consultants and media advisers who represent a matrix of clashing ambitions and festering feuds... His orbit remains filled with people who have been demoted without being told they are being demoted.
The New Republic is quoted with this damning reflection on the wannabe President's teamwork style:
Of course, McCain himself could take control of the situation by calling all of his competing advisors together and ordering them to work together. But that would be a dramatic break with past practice. As the former McCain advisor puts it, 'McCain's style is, call everyone into a room, say you guys work it out, and then turn off the lights. And then throw in a knife.'
Reassuring eh? In six months time this could be the management style which is prevalent in the White House.
