It’s been scintillating to watch John McCain morph from the Republican Party’s chief maverick to a non-maverick ? and not one iota of it has to do with winning the Republican primary in Arizona, darn it!

Now, McCain has released an ad mocking his primary opponent, J.D. Hayworth. Hayworth is the favorite of the Tea Party movement.

The ad is funny (similar to McCain’s “The One” spot against Obama), but it brings back memories of my bout with McCainitis, which I suffered from throughout 2008 since the (non) maverick’s face and views were in the news continually.
