Plemty out ther to Google. Here is a quote from a cite referring to
Congressional Quarterly

""It's not change when John McCain decided to stand with George Bush 95
percent of the time, as he did in the Senate last year," says Barack Obama.

The claim is true. According to Congressional Quarterly's Voting Studies, in
2007 McCain voted in line with the president's position 95 percent of the
time - the highest percentage rate for McCain since Bush took office - and
voted in line with his party 90 percent of the time. However, McCain's
support of President Bush's position has been as low as 77 percent (in
2005), and his support for his party's position has been as low as 67
percent (2001)."

95% of the time in 07 he voted with Bush
90% with the GOP in 06 - as if the GOP ever really was anything but a rubber
stamp for Bush

That's your maverick for you.
