John McCain and Barack Obama have both changed positions in this campaign. That’s OK. Voters understand that politicians can and, sometimes, should change their views. After all, voters do. Witness the wide swings in their answers to opinion polls.
But before accepting the changes, voters typically ask themselves three questions: Does the candidate admit he’s shifting? What’s the new information that altered his thinking? Does the change seem reasonable and not calculating?
CSH - I think all lizards know the answer to this one, and will appreciate Karl’s take on the matter.
