MAINSTREAMING MCCAIN, MELTING CUBE McCain and Cube before and after
In 2000, we got to know the maverick, John McCain. He boarded his Straight Talk Express and took the lesser traveled road through politics, stopping along the way to call bullshit on bad decisions, whether they came from Republicans or Democrats. He came with credentials, having spent five and a half years in a POW camp. We got a sense it left dude a bit off. And we liked that. Even if we didn't always agree with his views, we liked that he was saying something different.
