Keith Olbermann Reports on McCain's Flip-flops

Some reports were talking about Obama's changing positions on FISA and getting out of the war in Iraq. John McCain said Obama couldn't be trusted because he is opting out of the public financing system.

This is not the way to shed the image of being old

At a town hall meeting in December of 2007, McCain waxed poetic on all the different forms of information, "the cables, the Internets". Ah, if only we were back in the days of the telegraph and the Pony Express, McCain's life would be so much easier.
