Claiming “the notion that somehow that’s me trying to look like I’m more centered — more centrist — is just not true.” (FOX News)

Dick Morris looks at the flip-flops and how Obama will likely govern. (Real Clear Politics)

Meanwhile, McCain is blasting Obama over taxes and oil. (NRO)

Michael Medved notes “the Republican and Democratic nominees have actually diverged sharply on just about everything -- Iraq policy, negotiations with Iran, protecting the Bush tax cuts, federal spending, earmarks, government takeover of healthcare, windfall profit taxes, tax simplification and flatter taxes, abortion, gun rights, gay marriage, oil drilling off the coast, nuclear power, choice in education, defending radio from the fairness doctrine, surveillance of terrorist suspects, the Patriot Act, you name it.” (Townhall)

Meanwhile, Hillary and Obama still have issues. From the story: As Obama and Clinton prepare for their first joint fund-raisers to benefit the Obama campaign, in New York City on Wednesday and Thursday, their two camps are straining under the weight of continued resentments, recriminations and feelings that remain raw since the long primary battle.
