Steve Benen is a reliable source for this kind of stuff.

>>Long-time readers know that I’ve been emphasizing John McCain’s dozens of major policy flip-flops for months now, hoping that this would a) catch on as a campaign issue; and b) undermine McCain’s unearned reputation for principled stands on the issues.<<

Dale -

I'm not one who believes that a candidate should never change his mind about anything. For example, McCain's change in stance with respect to off-shore oil drilling would seem to be a response to changing conditions, as opposed to just flip-flopping for the purpose of pandering.

However, the bulk of the examples in that post really do seem to be pandering.

The past couple of weeks have been especially difficult when it comes to McCain flip-flops

I wonder why the sudden spurt in the past two weeks?

Is it a question of funding or a response to Obama being the nominee?

The right wing is saying that Obama flipped on the public funds financing which he said he would use.

And then on a post here he supposedly flipped on gun control support.. See Manny Moose's post.

I think we should find the flip flops on both sides.. I would be interested to compare them.
