Great article. The Don Draper character might not like the advertising field today, but his forte is manipulating attitudes and opinions. The old phrase, to write the Great American Novel you have to do some Great American Living, applies. His background is his source of inspiration and explains how he adapts.

Don Draper today would be a political campaign consultant. Or work for a cable news network.

Maybe it's the only thing he's good at.
