Apparently, McCain only acts mavericky when he isn't running for anything: AZ REPUBLIC:

...Poole, who compiles a widely respected analysis of all Senate votes, ranks McCain as slightly less conservative than most Republicans throughout his career and near the far edge of the right while running for president.

During the 10 years The Republic examined, McCain crossed over to vote with Democrats 19 times in 82 close votes. He did so just once in the four years he was running for president: 1999, 2000, 2007 and 2008.... [*]

That's a profile in courage for you!. Well, what do you expect when the guy is as mavericky as those mavericks Trent Lott, Larry Craig and David Vitter [*].
