OBAMA.
Barack has credibility problems, but his public speaking, charisma, and poise block out his miscues with his supporters.
A Wordsmith.
He says he will continue to gather information.
He says he will refine his policies.
The Nomination Contest is controlled mainly by Liberal Voters in the Democrat Party.
The General Election is decided by the General Public.
Liberals want out of Iraq so Obama tilt's left in the primaries.
Liberal Voters power diminishes greatly in the general election because they will definitely not vote for McCain.
General Election Voters become numb to the escapades of the candidates operatives, journalists critiques, and general election voters are nowhere near as passionate about politics as primary voters.
In essence, Obama is learning to manipulate the general public as he goes even though he has not changed his position in his own head.
That's a lot like Reagan in the 1980s who Sam Donaldson said that Reagan saw words as flexible tools or a picture is worth a 1000 facts even though the reality is much different.
In essence, again, Obama is a typical politician in that he bends his position to suit the political environment.
