Once the weather warms up, it's out with the boots and in with the sandals. And when I say sandals, I mean flip-flops — in every style, color, and brand — I practically live in them 24/7!

Obama Flips Toward Center, While McCain Flops to Base

If you care about flip-flops, BBC has taken its turn to put together a compilation of Obama and McCain policy U-turns.

If you care about flip-flops, BBC has taken its turn to put together a compilation of Obama and McCain policy U-turns. The examples indicate that McCain has, atypically, traded more moderate positions for right-wing stances favorable with his base. More traditionally, Obama has shifted center after locking in the nomination, so he can appeal to undecided moderate voters. Here are some examples:

  • McCain and Interrogation: McCain now supports a bill exempting the CIA from the US Army's interrogation rules.
  • Obama and Surveillance: In 2007 he pledged to filibuster retroactive telecom immunity; but, he recently announced that he would not oppose such bill.
