Obama and Double Standards

Congratulations to Hillary Clinton on her 41% margin of victory win over Barrack Obama in Tuesday's West Virginia primaries. He still has the nomination virtually locked up but it is good to see that the voters of West Virginia are much saner than those of Virginia or North Carolina.

And since he has the nomination almost within his grasp, Obama seems to be proposing new rules for campaigning, or, to be more accurate, new rules for John McCain to follow while campaigning.

Among the new rules: 1) No criticism of his liberal stances as liberal, 2) No criticism of his weakness on the war on terror, and 3) No criticism of his stances on social issues.

Please, Senator Obama, will you tell me how to wage an effective campaign if you make all your policy positions and political philosophy off-limits to criticism?
