Obama flip flopped just as much. He started out as chinus centrist moderate who would unite all from both parties and ended up in McGovern country. When this started hillary was to the left of him. After oprah came in and edwards left and he saw he would lose to hillary, he moved sharply to the left now that he had 97% of the black vote and the perfessors like ted in tow. Now back to the center for both mccain and obama leaving both sets of evangys behind.

JF, > He's a black guy. There are a lot of folks that won't vote for a black guy... so he starts out in a hole.

Lot of folks that won't vote for a woman, either.

Think getting Hillary in the VP spot will convince the racists? Think it will convince the sexist feminists such as Ferraro?

If Obama wants to risk his future presidency to get votes today, then that would be more confirmation that "change" is more of the same. (Or maybe a confirmation that Obama realizes his inexperience is a liability and would like help from Clinton Inc.)

>>> There are a lot of folks that won't vote for a black guy.

There are also a lot who would vote for a black guy regardless of how unqualified he is, regardless of his relationships with terrorists, and regardless for his extreme liberal views.

McCain on the other hand has flip flopped all over

There can be no bigger "flip-flop" than Obama throwing his grandmother under the bus, then his pastor, and finally, his entire church.

I don't know how you could have a more substantive flip flop than that.
