All through his career, first as a hero of the Vietnam war and then in Capitol Hill, John McCain has been a maverick, unafraid to stand up to those he opposed. But now, as the presidential race hots up, the Republican candidate is busy befriending those he once despised and ridiculed - the religious right, the gun lobby and the Iraq war hawks.

Note:
An interesting topic, thoroughly butchered by the author. If he had any knowledge of the American system and McCain's position therein, he would understand that McCain is appealing to the conservative wing now to build up a campaign war chest and enitce the Rush Limbaughs of the world back into his camp. And some quotes are just not believable, and must be sourced: "At least I don't plaster on the makeup like a trollop, you cunt." I mean, really, does anyone beleive McCain said that without hearing it on tape? So the author misses a chance to discuss McCain's strategy by falling into the trap of taking a political stand rather than analyzing the facts.
