Just thought this would be an interesting topic to answer. A quick Wikipedia search yielded a one line definition to the question, what really is a maverick?

A maverick is an unbranded range animal, especially a motherless calf; it can also mean a person who thinks independently; a lone dissenter; a non-conformist or rebel1.

So often referred to as a maverick by his political campaign team, including Governor Sarah Palin, is John McCain a maverick?

Does he think independently? Is he a non-conformist? Can he lead our country in a direction of recovery, out of the numerous disasters we are facing, economically, politically, etc. With gas prices on the rise, job availability on the decline, rising fears of worldwide tensions, and no exit strategies in the current war we are in (which has cost hundreds of trillions of dollars so far), is McCain a maverick that can get us out of this mess? I think not, but YOU decide. We will find out the beginning of the future, November 4.
