Dude,

I have to give you 100% respect for two reasons:

1. You happen to be spot on correct and;

2. You're from McCain's home state, where many view him as akin to the Messiah. It really takes some serious indpendent judgment to come to see beyond the BS when you probably bombarded by McCain zombies.

For the record... I use to really like McCain (the 2000 McCain). There is NO doubt the Bush and Rove railroaded McCain's career in probably the worst primary smear America has ever seen. I also have NO DOUBT that 2000 McCain would have been a much better Prez than Bushie II.

However, like most, McCain figured he'd never win if he continued ACTUALLY straight talking and fighting elections on issues. He's redcued himself to the lowest common denominator in politics and in my opionion has zero credibility. He's no longer a "straight talker" and is only a maverick if maverick means "sell your soul to the devil and do everything the machine asks of you". If that's the definition of a maverick, yes Sarah I agree, you both are the two biggest Maverick's I've ever seen.
