Both Obama and McCain are taking positions on energy that run counter to their position on energy before they were their party’s respective “presumed nominees.” There’s apparently a fine line between carefully honing your position around volatile economic conditions, and flat out saying stuff everybody knows you don’t believe. Presidential races are like these weird alternate realities where voters have to support their candidate based on what they did and said BEFORE they sold their souls to run for President. They have to do this while watching, hoping and praying with gritted teeth that all their positional readjustments are purely to appeal to the broadest, most simplistic voting bloc. The assumption must be that they will hopefully break the cockamamie promises of August if elected. Right?
When you’re reading a political cartoonist complaining about cynicism, you know it’s bad.
