I'm sure he would treat each situation differently. Least it's not something along the lines of this.

Something of substance against McCain personally? No I respect the man for his time as a POW, cancer survivor, and of course serving his country.
McCain doesn't have an independent record, least not anymore. I love how Republicans are saying this man is a Maverick against his own party, he's not anymore because he wouldn't of got the nomination otherwise.
He voted with Bush this % of the time:
In 2001: 91% of the time
2002: 90% of the time
2003: 91% of the time
2004: 92% of the time
2005: 77% of the time
2006: 89% of the time
2007: 95% of the time
That results in voting with Bush: 89.2% of the timeLeast according to this: Media Matters - AP "FactCheck" distorted Dems' claim that McCain voted with Bush "90 percent of the time"
And this: FactCheck.org: Is it true John McCain voted with George Bush 95 percent of the time?
He doesn't sound like no Maverick to me.
Oh and his record against earmarks?
McCain had criticized earmarks from Palin - Los Angeles Times

Think Progress McCain Falsely Claims He Has Never Asked For A Single Earmark Or Pork Barrel Project For His State

And one last thing on the "Maverick" myth:

Now go, and never darken my towels again.
So he voted for Bush on alot of issues as did the Democrats....That doesn't prove anything.
While Obama has voted the party lines 100% of the time.
