let's make him being governor the last thing on his resume.

get these things out in the open, then they can't spring them on us later on.

look how far the "maverick' (which we all know was a lie) label got McCain.
save for being against the best candidate of our time, and save for his running a terrible campaign, McCain might have gone all the way being a maverick.
(actually had he really been a maverick, he might also have succeeded against anyone else but President Obama.
