Looks like Obama has agreed to four debates – three for the presidential candidates and one for their VP’s. Hopefully all parties will agree to be a bit flexible with the format of the debates. http://www.nytimes.com/2008/08/03/us...te.html?ref=us Some early reports on the so-called “shift” or even “flip-flop” on the offshore drilling by Obama were a bit over the top IMHO. All the man is saying is that he would agree to some offshore drilling as part of concessions to be made to get a broader energy bill passed. Good move as I see it, should almost completely take the heat off him on this issue. He can stand firm on that he opposes it, while at the same time not get beat over the head with the issue as he has already shown his willingness to compromise. Obama says shift on drilling is practical step -- chicagotribune.com An interesting bit brought to us by those folks across the pond: Is Barack Obama too thin to win the White House? - Times Online Will fat Americans vote for a skinny Obama?
