"Predictions: Obama will abandon his timeline for Iraq withdrawal and his opposition to OCS drilling by election eve."

Of course he will Brumar89. And why does this surprise?

Obama will abandon any idea or conviction that stands between him and the electorate just as he will embrace any idea or conviction that might stand to win him a few critical votes.

We appear to be surprised because most of us still have some sense of what is right and wrong despite the ever-present demand that we do what it takes to win or, in some cases, to survive.

And what ever it takes to win or to survive always trumps what is right and wrong.

Can one say the same thing about McCain?

For the best answer to that you should manage to get in touch with his Vietkong captors. They witnessed McCain's relativism during his five years of torture at their hands.
