Besides, he's being a normal politician and hedging. He can ride high on two horns of a “positive dilemma” (given enough liberal media “spin”), ideally, on any issue.

Hedging is nothing new. Not on Wall Street, not in politics. Even Archer Daniels “Bob Dole Campaign 1996″ Midland and other such corporations will make donations to Dems as well as to the GOP, and vary these contributions to campaigns depending on how they foresee the election results. The Dems are liberal and Threaten America With Flirtation Once More With Radicalism [tm] [insert ominous music] this year, if Obama's energy ideas are any warning [insert ominous music again as a reinforcement device]. Yet they are getting, in addition to a sea of ordinary-person small contributions, quite a chunk of corporate money, too. Why? Because the Dems are likely to win, perhaps?

(Pay attention to corporations, what size, what sources, to McCain and if there is an increase for McCain and a decrease for Obama in the months to come, not limited to those coming from oil companies. Look at health insurers, Big Pharma, the ethanol crowd etc. — in addition to those Teamsters for Change (D) and big government unions and trial lawyers and such.)
