McCain and Regulation

The Washington Post has a story up about McCain's sudden, dramatic shift towards regulation -- in case you missed it, it happened sometime around 8am this morning -- after long championing deregulation.

This is one instance where the Obama campaign and his supporters needs to step away from cries of flip-flop. What the message should be is the learning curve. It took a once-a-century financial meltdown for McCain to realize that some regulation is a good thing. Which is a nice bit of Monday Morning Quarterbacking. Obama et al need to be saying things like, "Where were you when the problem started?"
