Actually that might not be a bad idea for Obama. The DU grievance mongers are going to become his worst nightmare if he tries to move to the center so he can govern (or rule, to use the term preferred by his subjects). McCain was the propaganda media’s favorite RINO for quite some time.
Until he actually got the nomination Then he became the antichrist. I predicted that move from both hollywood and the media several years ago, were McCain to be the repub candidate. I actually heard people like Alec Baldwin , Whoopi Goldberg, and others over the last 8 years say things like “McCain is one republican I could vote for”, “John McCain is an honorable man I could support”, etc. As I said-until he actually WON the NOMINATION. Then the love affair ended.
