His campaign promised the Canadians that all the nafta talk was just that. This actually hasn't been established, Neal. Even that anything happened since the source of the Canadian leak had a serious conflict of interest. And even if the strongest version of the narrative never implicated his campaign. Only one of his economic advisers. And this is conjecture on my part, but I am wondering if Obama didn't promise Bill Richardson something to come on board. If Richardson were offered the vp slot, you would have a hard time convincing me that this was something that wasn't offered beforehand. But, again, Neal, this is something you don't know. So to accuse Obama of promising things and then using as one of your illustrations, a promise you have no evidence for, is a bit weak. The best evidence I've seen for Obama's pragmatism when it comes to politics as usual is a longish piece in the NYTimes a week or so ago about how he worked his way up in Chicago politics. I posted it on this thread at the time.
