9. Elizabeth Drew

Elizabeth Drew is an American political journalist and author. A graduate of Wellesley College, she was Washington correspondent for The Atlantic Monthly (1967-73) and The New Yorker (1973-92). Drew has written 13 books, including Washington Journal: The Events of 1973-74 (1975), an account of the Watergate scandal; On the Edge: The Clinton Presidency (1994); and Citizen McCain (2002).
"McCain’s recent conduct of his campaign – his willingness to lie repeatedly (including in his acceptance speech) and to play Russian roulette with the vice-presidency, in order to fulfill his long-held ambition – has reinforced my earlier, and growing, sense that John McCain is not a principled man.

In fact, it’s not clear who he is. "
