These aren't "glaring"

People need to be able to change their minds. Nobody's changing sides, so big deal. Nothing to see here, move along!

Revising

They call it "flip-flopping", but it's not always bad. What I really hate is a politician who never changes his mind because he thinks he's always right.

I *want* my candidates to think about things, learn, contemplate options, and then, when it's appropriate, *change their positions.*

You exaggerate Obama's flaws, and ignored many other McCain flaws

Obama never promised to take Federal Funding. He said he would work to come to an agreement with his opponent.

McCain Wins this Contest

Both candidates have adjusted their positions to reflect the current situation, as any good leader would do.

McCain had the 'worst' flip-flop, going from "The fundamentals of the economy are strong" to "...economic crisis...: in the same day.
