Yep, but I don't think it's a matter of coming to the middle as much as the stark reality of $4 gasoline and voters who are getting angrier and angrier about it. The trend has been there for a bit now. - Aaron Brazell
I agree with you on the reality, no argument there. I just have doubts about whether or not it would make a serious difference. - Michelle Martinez
It's amazing what $4 a gallon gas does for one's perspective, isn't it? And agreed about political blogging. You really have a moment when you could do this Aaron - with all the coverage that the Web 2.0 v. Congress thing got. Don't let moment slip away. - Lucretia Pruitt

I'm not going to say that no politician has ever flipped on a position for lame reasons but we do put them in a damned if you do position at times - we decry partisan hackery and wish that they would be willing to admit that their original position was wrong or that changes in the facts warrant the undigging of the heels and a new approach but when they do we scoff at them and accuse them of pandering. i think we shld encourage the behaviors we like through positive reinforcement - Marco (aureliusmaximus)
People changing opinions based on reality is a welcome thing compared to the current occupant in White House, who wants reality to change based on what he thinks. - Krishnan Hussein Subraman
