It's responding to new information, and changing your mind. I know that's a sin for idealog Neos. This is the height of hypocrisy. The Left is claiming McCain "flip-flopped" when the price of oil doubles by saying it now makes sense to drill in areas where he previously believed it didn't. This is a perfect example of the situation you're describing. McCain can, at least, make the case that it was for a reason other than political expediency. Obama, OTOH, has flip flopped many times, and in EACH AND EVERY case (including the finance issue) it has been for political expediency. A "flip flop" is that ONLY when it is done for political expediency. A candidate can change his mind because of different circumstances. But when you change your mind on a fundamental issue like campaign finance as Obama has done, it is a flip flop of the highest order. Indefensible. But you're trying hard.
