Whats in a name? Edward Burleson was the first non-party person in Texas politics. I guess by these standards, McCain should call himself a Burleson? Maybe Maverick should do the same?
Just NYT's political mumbojumbo.

That was a historical, but funny piece. I knew the Maverick family name was applied to free-range unbranded Texas cattle and later people with a nonconformist or independent bent, but I didn't know that liberals or Democrats owned the word, Maverick. I wonder if families with the surnames of Dissenter or Loner ever raise a stink when these words are applied to free-thinking politicians. ;D
