It's sad. No more a maverick.

Believe me, John McCain is no maverick. He's sold his soul to cater to the Republican party line. He's sold out to the conservatives. To the base of the GOP. McCain used to have guts. A conscience. But now he's turned into a doddering old man. He's abandoned his principles. Maybe because he was willing to try anything to win the election. But he miscalculated. Badly. Thinking that the only way to win was to be something other than himself. Maybe he just turned himself over to his handlers. The Karl Rovians. It's sad to see McCain go down this way. Maybe he would have stood a chance. If only he had remained a maverick. --Jim Broede
