No, it is not proof. All campaigns are forced to move to the center. Everyone of them.

But McCain had far less moving to do than Obama.

You cannot legitimately apply the term "radical" to anything McCain has done. At all. OTOH, Obama, well that's a different story.

The Republican Party is more moderate today than at any time I can remember, and certainly, McCain as a candidate is.

The GOP is anything but moderate today and the fact that Mccain has had to radicalize himself to get to this point is ample proof.

Let's not forget that in the early days of the mccain campaign, the radical right was strongly against him. Icons of the radical right such as rush and coulter and other radio "personalities" were going as far as to advocate campaigning for clinton to setup a win in 2012 for a more extreme GOP candidate.


It goes to show you how Machiavellian crazy they are.
