Michael Goldfarb (political writer)
Michael Goldfarb was the deputy communications director for John McCain's 2008 presidential campaign.[1] He was previously the online editor for The Weekly Standard, which he took a leave of absence from to work on the campaign.[1]
While at The Weekly Standard, Goldfarb was the first to raise doubts about the veracity of Scott Beauchamp's then-anonymous Iraq reporting for The New Republic.[2]
He has a B.A. in history from Princeton University.[3] He is a research associate at the Project for the New American Century.[4]
As McCain's blogger, Goldfarb has attracted some online attention and criticism for two posts ridiculing liberal bloggers as basement-dwelling Dungeons and Dragons players.[5][6]
