Now THAT makes no sense.
That is not exactly my reasoning...

I am saying that Bush changing his position to be closer to Obama's does not help Republicans and definitely does not help McCain.

Obama can point to the shift and say, "See, I was right all along and now Bush has FINALLY caught up to my thinking. Hopefully McCain will change his position to be more like mine as well." So, it's not that doing what's positive for the country is not positive for the Republicans --- it's that changing course to do the right thing highlights the fact that you were wrong before and your opponent was right. It's one of the reasons that politics sucks.

We'll see how it works out.
