Big O. another Bill C.?

Dick Morris has quite a good rundown here on “Why the race is tied,” including Obama’s carrying “flip-flopping to new heights”:

In the space of a month and a half, this candidate — who we don’t really yet know very well — reversed or sharply modified his positions on at least eight key issues

which he lists.  He also addresses the politico-moral equivalence argument:

Obama’s breathtaking flips and flops are materially different from McCain’s. While McCain had opposed offshore oil drilling and now supports it, the facts have obviously changed. Obama’s shifts have nothing to do with altered circumstances, just a change in the political calendar.

Somebody has even called O. a

“black Bill Clinton,” a turnaround of the “first black president” moniker that had been pinned on Bill.

The comparison has relevance to another phenomenon, the O. campaign being all for itself, and the devil take other Dem candidates, to judge from this at Politico:

After a brief bout of Obamamania, some Capitol Hill Democrats have begun to complain privately that Barack Obama’s presidential campaign is insular, uncooperative and inattentive to their hopes for a broad Democratic victory in November.

One thought on “Big O. another Bill C.?

  1. Maybe, maybe McCain can squeak a win even with his lackluster performance.

    Oh, wait, I forgot about vote fraud.
