I hear this all the time, but I've never heard an example of how John McCain has really changed. People bring up his opposition to the Bush tax cuts, but thats a misnomer. He voted against them because they weren't attached to a spending cut and he knew the cuts would pass anyway. It was a statement vote. Poeple mention drilling, but $4 a gallon gas changes things, and he's STILL against drilling in ANWAR. He's always been for the surge and led the fight for that, and he's never voted for a tax increase in his entire history. He's always been against corporate corruption, fighting for legislation in 2006 that was killed by the democrats (I mentioned this in another post with citations). Please name for me areas where he has changed considerably and there seems to be no reason other than politics.

And by the way, you said "..Obama is consistently talking about the improper nature of McCain's association with these companies..". Maybe I missed this somewhere, I don't watch much TV, but I read the paper every day at work, I think I may have missed this. Can you post some links to where Obama himself is attacking Mccain for taking money from them?

Here are two. The second directly links McCain and his ties to the credit industry:
EDIT: Looking back on those, they have more to do with position in a campaign than finances, so I'll concede the point about the Obama campaign ads. Obama was smart not to mention finances I suppose, and found another rout that was affective. Smart politics. But still, I believe my media criticism holds.
