This is pretty straightforward stuff. While tacking to the cenrter is a common general election strategy it works because in the past the candidates had a record to speak for their actual positions or "leanings" including a track record of taking risks if one applies [as it does w/McCain]. In the primary, to use a phrase, Obama "talked the talk, but its anyone's guess if he'll wal the talk." Absent evidence when there are two self styled independents, one WITH a record & one w/ a resume that while iimpressive is so thin it could give you a paper cut, who are most people going to trust in a time of war AND a bad economy?
