Apparently, things get overheated during a campaign and politicians say things they just don’t mean. I guess that’s the post-partisan way of explaining away a flip-flop.
It will be interesting to see how the Obamanites explain this away and figure out a way to attack me on it at the same time. Or maybe they’ll just state that McCain flip-flopped on drilling, so there! Or maybe they’ll face the political reality that Obama is doing what every politician has done before him: move to the center. Not much of a change, huh? Certainly not one we can believe in.

But the $100,000 question is: what is his real position? The one he stated in the primary or this one? I’m betting that someone may be tempted to state that it’s the same position (better read the article before you do that, even Obama admits they are different).
