Attention Whore, or Just An Idiot?

You decide. More on the Clinton supporter in the McCain ad. As far as I can tell, this is sour grapes, and she’s doing it out of pure spite. If she could name just two substantive issues where McCain’s position is closer to Clinton’s than Obama’s is, I might understand. Of course, it would be foolish to expect anyone in the media to actually ask that question.

Quoth the woman:

every time I tried to learn about [Obama] he seems to change his mind on a lot of the issues

Err, have you ever “tried to learn” about McCain? He’s “changed his mind” on everything from tax cuts to torture to social security privatization. And it’s no coincidence, I think, that he’s changed his mind in the less-mavericky direction. A partial list of McCain flip-flops.

UPDATE: Did anyone see The Daily Show’s bit on the Clinton Supporters for McCain? They actually talked to a child behavior expert about how to deal with kids who refuse to play nice, then tried the tactics on the Clinton supporters. Hilarious!

    I wouldn’t throw around the flip-flop charges especially after Obama has changed his mind on immunity for companies that assisted our government in the days after 9/11 (FISA), changed his position on withdrawing troops from Iraq, public financing of his presidential run, unconditionally meeting with terrorist nations, etc. Now, do you see how silly you sound. Now, as far as the Clinton supporter in the McCain ad, don’t be mad about that. There are alot of Hillary supporters who are going to support McCain. Isn’t it great.
