Will the Obama campaign play the "flip-flop" card?

It worked against Kerry. Shirley, McCain's blatant flip-flips are fair game...

Wiretapping Story.
Mr. McCain’s position, as outlined by Mr. Holtz-Eakin, was criticized by the campaign of his presumptive Democratic opponent in the presidential election, Senator Barack Obama of Illinois. Greg Craig, an Obama campaign adviser, said Wednesday that anyone reading Mr. McCain’s answers to The Globe and the more recent statement would be “totally confused” about “what Senator McCain thinks about what the Constitution means and what President Bush did.”

“American voters deserve to know which side of this flip-flop he’s on today, and what he would do as president,” Mr. Craig said in a phone interview.

Wait till the McCain wankers on the rightwing boards start hearing about this. Suddenly Rovekrieg becomes 'politics of assassination' and character smears.

The problem with the Right Wing is that they are so damn predictable while the problem with Left Wing is that they are full of surprises.

McCain has already started playing the flip-flop card against Obama. Or tried, that is. It's about time Obama hit back.
A Government founded upon justice, and recognizing the equal rights of all men; claiming higher authority for existence, or sanction for its laws, that nature, reason, and the regularly ascertained will of the people; steadily refusing to put its sword and purse in the service of any religious creed or family is a standing offense to most of the Governments of the world, and to some narrow and bigoted people among ourselves.

There are only so many ads the Obama campaign and the DNC can put out in a week, and they are focusing on other issues. All the ones they have put out are good enough:

Ad on McCain's "100 year" remark

Bush's third term

"Americans are better off then they were 8 years ago"

I'm sure they'll eventually get around to doing one about his 440 on almost all his issues.
