Ignoring McCain's efforts to satisfy conservative base, NBC's Gregory touted McCain's "brand" as "being a maverick and being anti-politics"

SUMMARY: On The Tim Russert Show, David Gregory asserted that Sen. John McCain has "got a pretty strong brand identity as being a maverick and being anti-politics and anti-Washington" without noting McCain's efforts to satisfy conservative Republicans during the primary, including his rapprochement with the religious right and his rightward shift on issues such as immigration and taxes.
