Republican John McCain told his party at his nominating convention that he doesn't work for the party - he works for the people.
And McCain, who courted the idea of tapping a former Democrat for his running mate, friend Joe Lieberman, says he can promise that, as president, he will have some Democrats working in his Cabinet.
That's not the sort of talk his party wanted to hear, necessarily, at its convention. He told fellow Republicans that he is a "maverick,'' and that is not always a compliment. But it could be the sort of thing that independent voters - and Democrats still smarting over the loss of Hillary Clinton in the Democratic primaries - want to hear.
