Why a huge number of voters apparently will vote for Obama on the idea that he will suddently transform himself into a centrist moderate is beyond me given the fact that his record - the little there is of it - strongly suggests that he will be a very liberal President. In politics, the past is definitely prologue.

I have never seen a major candidate hide his views as well as Obama. Specific policies are anathema to him. He has done a masterful job of letting voters see in him whatever they wish to see.

Every interview with a pillar of the DC-NY Dem establishment (in which I include the MSM news anchors) clearly expects a moderate Obama.

My take is, they have sized up his weakness and expect him to be biddable.
