Maverick/chameleon #3

I may have to change what I call Sen. McCain.

This afternoon he wound up voting for the very resolution he said this morning that he could not support.    This was the Senate Foreign Relations Committee voting to send it to the Senate floor.

So -- perhaps not maverick, nor chameleon -- but whirling dervish (with apologies to Sufis).

Why do I care what McCain does?    Because he could be so much more than he is if he were consistently and reliably a bipartisan partner.   It must be maddening to those trying to work cooperatively with him.    Is he your best friend -- or does he stab you in the back?

PS:   The committee vote was 10 to 7  (7 Democrats and 3 Republican for;  2 Democrats and 5 Republicans against;  1 Democrat voting "present.")
