Obama Metamorphosis

OR BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR

Senator Obama captured the 'presumptive nominee' title by running true to his background as a far left liberal in the primaries - anti-war, pro entitlements, anti-capitalist, corporation bashing, tax raising and class warfare zealot. Having defeated Clinton by successfully garnering far left support, he is now dodging right so fast it makes your head swim. Truthfully, he needs to do this to win in November and will probably seduce far more independents to his side than the leftists he will now lose. Nevertheless, we are now being courted by just another ambivalent rain drop dodging politician rather than the romantic agent of change he was portrayed as.
McCain has changed his position on a few key things such as amnesty and drilling but these have come about amidst a plethora of hard facts and electoral anger. By and large, McCain is consistent albeit no conservative from the traditional trenches.
And remember, the only voters in contention are those in the middle who do not possess hard philosophical and ideological positions. Those on the far left or the far right will not vote for the other party's candidate under any circumstances. Implication? The election and its future consequences is in the hands of people who either don't care, are generally uninvolved or are easily swayed by last minute appeals. This does not build confidence in America's future diection.
