Questions from Cattle Country

I’m confused. McCain/Palin are presented as “Mavericks”. But mavericks from what? From fiscal responsibility, non-interventionist foreign policy, and civil liberties? From the GOP, which we are told is the party of fiscal responsiblity, non-interventionist foreign policy, and civil liberties? Or is it  the GOP the maverick from its own core principles? Do we want “mavericks” in charge? Who are they going to work with? If it’s the herd, will they still be “mavericks”?
