Jockeying for Position

It’s sadly funny to watch the positioning going on between Senators Barack Obama and John McCain. On the one hand, they are trying to define themselves by defending their respective decisions. At the same time, they are attacking each other on other, sometimes irrelevant or even unproven points. Which forces the other to scramble in establishing a new defensive definition.

What makes all of it worse, is that enough of what they say is utterly inconsistent with their stated policies and current voting records.

If I had to guess, the underlying reason rests on private polling results.

I’m not sure how else to say this, guys, but stand up for what you believe in, and stand firm. ‘Cause here’s the deal, when you get into office, we expect execution, even if you have to compromise. We’ve had eight straight years of incompetent lying. We don’t need any more of that.
