Positions Being Driven By Polls and Focus Groups

July 9, 2008

While I don’t by into the cute labels like “flip-flopper in-chief,” I do worry as a democrat that “our guy” has no core of beliefs.  What seems to be driving Senator Obama?  I found an older article from the Washington Post that details “changes of position” during the primary from both Obama and Clinton.  For Senator Obama they list the following:

1.  Union money being called special interest money

2.  His promise to accept public financing

3.  Ending the Cuba embargo

4.  Illegal immigration

5.  Decriminalizing marijuans

This post from Time is more up to date.  It adds to the list:

6.  D.C. Gun Ban

7.  Welfare Reform

8.  FISA Bill

Two others that are not mentioned are:

9.  Jerusalem being the undivided capital of Israel

10.  Meeting With Terror Leaders With No Pre-Conditions

Anyone care to add to the list?

    Abortion, though he has stated he feels states have the ability to limit late term abortions he had not previously mentioned he did not feel the mental health of the mother should be an issue. That caused some concern/discussion.
