They are not mavericks!

Thank you Joe Biden for finally standing up tonight and telling Sarah Palin that she and John McCain are not Mavericks!

Maverick is defined as a a lone dissenter, as an intellectual, an artist, or a politician, who takes an independent stand apart from his or her associates. Even if McCain and Palin have made a few decisions that were different from their party, that doesn't make them mavericks. I truly believe that if either one of them were a Maverick, they wouldn't have a chance of winning this election. Why? Because people don't like much change. That is why we will probably never see a president that is not a republican or democrat. The two of them still stay very close to their party, and so I don't think they are mavericks.

I just hate hearing that word coming out of her mouth as the answer for everything. "John McCain is a maverick because he stood up for this." "I am a maverick because I said thanks, but no thanks to the bridge to no where." It's ridiculous. They have just picked up on this media label and have ran with it and I cringe every time I hear it, especially when it's coming from one of their own mouths.

Plus, I don't like anyone associating my fiancé with John McCain or Sarah Palin (his name is Maverick).

So again, thank you Joe Biden for standing up and telling them that they are not Mavericks! That was my favorite part of the debate tonight!
