Normal... The press loves McCain and is willing to be McCain's lap pit bull...

Maybe Obama needs to take a few pages outta McCain's game plan and pry the press with BBQ and booze... And sit for hours in bull sessions with them... That is what McCain does and it has been effective... When we look back at the Repub nominatin' campaign it seems that McCain spent more time campaigning to Big Media then he did campaigning to the voters... Good strategy...

But realistically Obama probably couldn't pull it off because the McCain folks would say that was flip-flopping...

BTW, had Bush flip-flopped on his decision to invade Iraq back during the mad-dash-to-Iraq days the world would be a much more stable palce today and gas wouldn't be $4 a gallon and over 4000 Americans would still be alive, and 30,000 Americans wouldn't be disabled and upwards of 1,000,000 Iraqis would still be alive and the US would have respect in the world... Flip-floppin' ain't a bad thing... Inflexibility in today's world is...
