It was easy in the Butch days to characterize any Dem as a "flipper," since the Current Occupant has never changed his mind from what his handlers told him and has never, ever, ever made a mistake in his Presidential career (according to his own account).
But it is going to be increasingly hard as the campaign goes forward -- not that the Republibogglers intend to change their strategy -- to call the kettle black, so to speak. McCain't and his surrogates are whining that Obama "flipped" on playing by the public financing rules and caps thereon. But wait a minute. McCain't held firmly to all sides of the public financing issue during the primaries. First he said he wouldn't take public financing, then he said he thought he might and used the promise as collateral on a loan, then he didn't take the money and said he didn't need it to get the loan.
Sen. Lindsay Graham was in a regular dither on Beat the Press, screwing up his face like he was sitting on a pile of Limburger and saying, "Obama will do anything to win, while John McCain't is running because he cares about America." Puh-leeeze. He cares about the public financing because he is in a deep financial hole, and apparently will straight talk his way past any fact or previous position to win.
