Obama needs to turn the term "Maveric" into "Loose Cannon"
Honestly, McCain has made some serious blunders that he's been trying to pass off as being a "Maverick: .... Problem is, even members of his own party are left scratching their heads and saying, "What the hell is he doing?"

Now is the time for Obama to make the case that times are too serious for someone who is more of a "Loose Cannon" ... than he is any "Maverick."

To me, a "Loose Cannon" is someone who goes against common logic and good judgement. This is EXACTLY what John McCain is.

Maverick is just a polite way of saying reckless and irresponsible.
