There is a logic to it. I mean it's not like the Bush haters, Obama nuts, and other collected weirdos will vote for McCain, but they might stay home or even worse not donate to a fiscally wobbly campaign.
And even more change.
As Obama assiduously obliterates all differences with McCain on national security and social issues, he remains rightly confident that Bush fatigue, the lousy economy and his own charisma -- he is easily the most dazzling political personality since John Kennedy -- will carry him to the White House.
Of course, once he gets there he will have to figure out what he really believes. The conventional liberal/populist stuff he campaigned on during the primaries? Or the reversals he is so artfully offering up now?
I have no idea. Do you? Does he?
Charles Krauthammer is right. Obama's policy changes are in the saner direction and make him seem less of a naive fringe nutball. That is if we beleive his new stance is his acutal stance.
As Krauthammer says, Obama may not have any actual plan (other than getting elected). Supremely ironic given he's campaigned as a principaled new politics guy. But it does raise serious questions... what will Obama do if in the Whitehouse?
And to show that you can't assign such mortal things as policies to Obama...
Obama may be rereconsidering his stance on Iraq.
