McCain Book Out — "Myth Of A Maverick"

08/28/2007

Matt Welch usually has something interesting to say, and his new book, McCain: The Myth of a Maverick , will no doubt be fascinating. (Welch believes that a President McCain would send

more troops overseas — I just wish he'd save a few for the US Border.)

"Maverick," of course, means

totally without party loyalty
unconcerned with the wishes of his constituents, or Americans in general
extremely friendly with members of the conventional media — he panders to them, they pander to him, and that’s why they call him a "maverick" rather than, say, a hatemonger.

There’s only one problem, which I hope won’t hurt Welch’s sales too badly — McCain is at around 1 percent in the Presidential race. The reason? His support of the massive failed immigration bill.
