This article from the AP talks about the 2008 Republican hopeful's positions on the Senate immigration bill about to pass. One line stands out:
"McCain, whose GOP maverick streak masks his conservative credentials, pointed to public opinion."
Finally, the myth is exposed. McCain is both not a maverick, and, like most other politicians just follows public opinion polls. Thank you Liz Sidoti (author of this piece)
