And now McCain has the unenviable task of trying to convince people that he really hasn't changed his stance but that Obama has somehow moved in his direction...


Actually, if you get away from your liberalism for a moment, and try to put yourself in the shoes of the typical likely voter, I think there could be another explanation.

I believe that most people realize that the most important single decision Obama has made is whether to support the troop surge. And as it turned out, McCain is exactly right -- the troop surge turned what had already been declared a loss by the Left into a win. And without it, Obama could not even have MADE his trip to Iraq.

Obama has a huge risk of being over-exposed here -- because the liberal media is so in love with the Obama candidacy, they are just about to make everyone sick. At some point, it may be that the voters decide they don't want the liberal media electing the next president, and want to make the call themselves. There is precedent for this; we've seen the media go gaga over candidates before, only to have their candidate lose (2000 is one example).

By the time the media gets through with the Obama convention, people may be just about ready to puke when they hear the name.
