Maverick Brand

After the McCain/Palin campaign lost its last leg from which they were launching moral attacks on Obama/Biden, it is now time for Obama to unmask them and expose them as frauds. A team of "Mavericks"?

The new definition of 'maverick'

Erratic, Unstable, Irresponsible, Impetuous.
The last thing we need is a 'maverick.'
