McCain To Run Decentralized National Campaign (Mark Nickolas' Blog)

This is the nuttiest thing I've ever read.

How in the world is John McCain (R) going to stay on message when his campaign is going to be run by 10 semi-autonomous regional managers who will be doing different things at different times?
