Now, THAT'S impressive. A man who's willing to say, "The times have changed, and I have changed with them." Who is willing to support an issue that he opposed 4 years ago -- and not be afraid to admit it -- because he has genuinely changed his mind. Can you imagine the howls of "Flip-flop!" that would happen if someone said something like that here?

As to the other... I've already linked it.
