Out-mavericked?

Is it possible? In Palin, could McCain have actually picked someone more maverick-y than himself?

The View on Palin from an Alaskan Anti-Real ID Activist and Democrat

She is what McCain would like to be: She really is a maverick. In two years she stuck it to the two largest oil corporations in the United States of America. That’s pretty (bleep) impressive, you know, that she has antagonized her party to the point that they despise her. And her ratings are still in the 80s.

Sorry to double-dip on sources, but this was too interesting. Raising taxes on oil companies to provide fuel cost relief to taxpayers? Revoking unused resource leases from Big Oil? I’ve heard that before recently, but it sure wasn’t in the Republican Party platform. I’ll give McCain this, Palin sure is interesting.

    No, definitely not. Check into her work with lobbiests to bring home the bacon to her little town in Alaska. Other than a few nice words, she’s definitely no maverick – unless Ted Steves is also a maverick?

    Raising taxes on the oil companies? So, let me get this straight, that’s a good idea when it comes from Palin, but a bad idea when it comes from Obama? Now… go spin your answer!

    I don’t know if this qualifies as spin, but that’s why she is a maverick, she has ideas of her own which may not be 100 percent in line with her party.

    Can you name a liberal thought or cause in the last 20 years that Obama has not embraced and put into his platform? Living Wage. Universal Healthcare. Withdraw from Iraq. Tax the rich. College tuition for everyone. George W. Bush—bad!! McCain is W’s third term. And this is the non-partisan guy?

    My name is Barack Obama, and if you agree with everything I say, there will be no partisanship.

    Barack didn’t pick Hillary because he was afraid of her and Bill. Meanwhile, Palin is challenging HER party. Show me where Barack has challenged anything HIS party stands for. And don’t give me his universal healthcare policy is a little different than Hillary’s was.
