Everybody Loves a Maverick

I like John McCain's latest ad in which Democrats praise him.

There's been lots of talk from Barack Obama about bipartisanship, but the man has little to show for that (or anything else, for that matter). John McCain, OTOH, has a long history of working with Democrats, even in defiance of Republicans. That independence hasn't made him a darling of the Right--there's a certain hold-your-nose quality to the support he gets from conservatives--but it does illuminate the fact that John McCain has a track record of bipartisan cooperation, something Americans say repeatedly that they want.

I'd love to see this ad play for the next 88 days.
