As I reported earlier, John McCain released an ad today in which the Democrats of Christmas Past praise John 
McCain as a "Maverick."
I predicted a response by the Obama campaign before the end of business, consisting of Republicans eviscerating McCain and/or praising Obama.
Close, but the response is from the DNC, and it hews closely to the McCain ad, using modern-day quotes from the exact same Democrats to make the point that McCain has lost his Maverick mojo.
The DNC has been doing a good job in pushing back against the McCain campaign, which begs the question, "Who are you and what have you done with the Democrats?"
Since they probably don't want to give him the free exposure, I'll share with you Republican Gordon Smith's ad about a newer "Maverick" that he reached across the aisle to work with.
