People, pull your heads out of your blogs and think about the context of the Obama FISA vote.  The man is running for President.  Now is not the time for him to create political controversy with an out of step vote on FISA.  Better to go with the flow and move this along than to create an issue where there needn't be one.  Obviously, the fix is in on this bill or you wouldn't have the Democratic Congressional leadership showing this bill off.  There's no angle for the Nominee to go against the flow and fight this.  It isn't worth the risk of creating a larger issue that could play in the GE. 

This is not the time for Obama to stand on principles as 1 of 100.  Now is the time for Obama to manage the message, avoid land mines, and win the Presidency.  If you want an unelectable candidate who doesn't know when not to stand on principles, Ralph Nader's running again.  I'm sure he'd like your support.
