"I never considered myself a maverick," McCain told Newsweek. "I consider myself a person who serves the people of Arizona to the best of his abilities."
Maybe he's trying to switch to something else? Like change we can believe in?
McCain certainyl was a maverick and still is on such topics as pork in legislation. He was knwn to go his own way on many things.
The point is not whether or not you or anyone else thinks that he is a "maverick". The point is that he is denying that he ever said it and it is well documented that he did. He also said that the econoomy was sound a week before the Wall Street crash. I think McCain should hang up his hat and enjoy his golden years before he really starts sounding utterly foolish.

All I could think of when I heard this story and the Rachel Maddow piece, was Tina Fey doing her impression of sarah Palin saying, "Mavericky" Hilarious.
Much as the crowd ate up her every word, Palin had apparently missed the real message this electoral season in Arizona: for his three decades in Congress, McCain hadn't gone with the flow enough, at least not enough to satisfy many Arizona Republicans. Why else would his rival, former congressman J.D. Hayworth, be billing himself as "the consistent conservative"? Many of the GOP's most faithful, the kind who vote in primaries despite 115-degree heat, tired long ago of McCain the Maverick, the man who had crossed the aisle to work with Democrats on issues like immigration reform, global warming, and restricting campaign contributions. "Maverick" is a mantle McCain no longer claims; in fact, he now denies he ever was one. "I never considered myself a maverick," he told me. "I consider myself a person who serves the people of Arizona to the best of his abilities." Yet here was Palin, urging her fans four times in 15 minutes to send McCain the Maverick back to Washington.

He is just leaving room to be a RINO when it comes time to vote on amnesty. I think he loses his seat if he does that before the election and surely the Dems will be voting on amnesty before the election.
