No longer liberal?
Not too sure of the evidence here but both Obama and the news story are predictable.
Obama tacks away from his left-wing base
Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) is shifting to the center after months of battling Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) for the hearts of the Democratic Party’s liberal base.
His recent strategy of political triangulation has already sparked a fight with MoveOn.org, a powerful liberal advocacy group.
…More evidence of Obama’s ideological trajectory is a television advertisement emphasizing patriotism, personal accountability and tax cuts in Republican strongholds such as Alaska and Montana.
Obama’s campaign is fighting Republican efforts to portray him as an out-of-touch liberal. ~thehill.com

“His record is liberal, and his rhetoric is moderate,” explained Larry Sabato, director of the University of Virginia’s Center for Politics. ~examiner.com
Meaning that he’s never actually moderate but wants to appear moderate. Is this the ‘new politician’? Is this the lauded ‘change’?
