Much like John Kerry was brandished a flip-flopper in 2004, a new GOP online advertising campaign seeks to paint Barack Obama as a man who not only enjoys eating waffles, but as a candidate who waffles on the issues.

The political losers are starting to weigh in. Very interesting that John Kerry chose Barack Obama over his 2004 running mate John Edwards. Also interesting that an old Washington establishment player would sign on to Obama’s campaign given how much grief Obama has given the Washington establishment. One thing’s for sure: Kerry must really hate Clinton for running this year and taking away all of his old staffers.

Bill Richardson dropping out and possibly supporting Clinton is less surprising, since he’s always seemed to agree more with her “ready for change” platform over Obama’s simpler “change” stance.

Now, let’s hear from the voters.

It’s election season, so pollster John Zogby is spewing his junk to anyone who will listen. “Iowa matters,” he tells U.S. News without a hint of sarcasm, “more this year than ever before.”

His words, not surprisingly, coincide with a new Zogby poll that shows Mitt Romney and Hillary Clinton leading Iowa.
“He has to win Iowa,” Zogby said regarding Romney. “I don’t know how you spin a third,” he added regarding a hypothetical third place finish for Hillary.

But does anyone remember back in 2004 when Zogby’s election polls showed a comfortable win for John Kerry — even as Election Day was well under way? “Bush had this election lost a long time ago,” Zogby said at the time, predicting that voters would vote for “any candidate who was not Bush.”

Despite later saying he would altogether stop his predicting, it seems his new statements have undone that promise.
