He's going by the playbook. Politics to your base during the primary. Then to the center during the campaign. A lot of the people that voted, however, saw him as a candidate that stood out among the rest. Now it's getting blurry. Was tshis a good move on Obama's part?

I don't participate in polls because the media uses them to manipulate the voters. It has become an obsessive form of micromanagement and it often does more to distort the truth than to reveal anything more than a transient snapshot of some questionable reality. More often than not, the questions asked in polls are slanted in themselves; often the options, as n2n, just stated are omitted from the available choices. Consequently, the results are usually skewed.

I am not flippin' out yet. I like the guy, I've been cutting him the occasional check, I plan on continuing to support him at this point. I have said all along that I don't expect miracles or perfection from any politician, nor do I expect to agree with every decision. I know he is an intelligent man and his team of young campaign managers have proven themselves worthy so far. He has not changed his position on the war in any sense despite spin claiming so. I disagree with the FISA vote but he knows as well as you and I that he can not afford to lose the enthusiasm of his young supporters who frankly made the difference and got him this far. There is more information needed to get a grip on the equation right now.

Realpolitik on O.'s part, undoubtedly. Yet increasingly...depressing: just that.
When a Times editorial chides him for his move centerwards--as it did today--then you know there's trouble in paradise, never mind Arianna's recent rather sharp knuckle-raps.
Still, is one going to throw up one's hands and vote for McCain?
Not this one. I'll cut O. some slack...and a check.

Ralph Nader for President.
Nader has already accomplished many things politicians only talk about.
Obama is triangulating, saying anything to get elected. I can see a move to the middle, but the telecom bill and wavering on Iraq undermine the cornerstones of his candidacy. OBama is showing his true stripes here, not that he's from the left or the right, but he's just another pandering politician. He's out Clintoned the Clintons.
Change is just another name for nothing left to lose.
