David Brooks riffs on McCain 'rift'

In his column at www.nytimes.com he speculates on the anonymous sources for his paper's McCain bombshell and details the "rift" between a key present and former insider. He concludes, "At his press conference Thursday, McCain went all-in. He didn’t just say he didn’t remember a meeting about Iseman. He said there was no meeting. If it turns out that there is evidence of an affair and a meeting, then his presidential hopes will be over. If no evidence surfaces, his campaign will go on and it will be clear that there were members of his old inner circle consumed by viciousness and mendaciousness."
