Bush's rapid shifting of position



While left wing electors in the US pose what seems to me to be the
wrong question - whether Kerry is the lesser evil to Bush - does
anyone notice how much the shape of the beach is shifting under the
pressure of events?

(I am referring to the consumerist model of the bourgeois two party
system as one where on a crowded beach two ice-creamer sellers will
maximum their take if they both set up their stall near the centre of
the beach)

But if this is a systems approach to boureois democracy, what happens
if the centre of gravity of the system is shifting? What happens is
the tide is coming in, or the tide is going out?

If, if, he wins, a second GWBush presidency might be very different
from the first. Of course he will disguise it, but he is shifting his
policy fast is he not?

Or has this been fully ventilated in posts that I have skimmed over?
