Eh McCain's got a long career behind him before doing that, and I wouldn't say it was a flip flop so much as a convenient sellout, which they all do out of necessity at some point or another. The 2008 McCain was a pretty bizarre thing to watch though, it was pretty much totally separate from his Senate career.
As you also recently read in Greenwald's book, the torture stuff is something he voted on as a Senator.
