Obamacan triangulation of McCainocrats?

Read this.

AS Barack Obama enters the final stages of the fight for the Democratic presidential nomination, he is preparing to detach the core voters of John McCain, the likely Republican nominee, with the same ruthless determination with which he has peeled off Hillary Clinton's supporters.

The scene is set for a tussle between the two candidates for the support of some of the sharpest and most independent minds in politics. Obama is hoping to appoint cross-party figures to his cabinet such as Chuck Hagel, the Republican senator for Nebraska and an opponent of the Iraq war, and Richard Lugar, leader of the Republicans on the Senate foreign relations committee.

Senior advisers confirmed that Hagel, a highly decorated Vietnam war veteran and one of McCain's closest friends in the Senate, was considered an ideal candidate for defence secretary. Some regard the outspoken Republican as a possible vice-presidential nominee although that might be regarded as a "stretch".

Barack Obama is now out-triangulating the Clintons.

And of course, Obama is supposed to be to the left of Hillary -- even though leftists accuse him of being a rightist!

Topsy turvy doesn't begin to describe what's going on.

As he can't nominate anyone for anything until being elected, I suspect this is a leaked or wishful story of a purely electoral nature by Obama supporters, or even his campaign.
