We’ll be back on Monday after a weekend off. Feel free to use this post as an open thread to write what’s on your mind…

Until we’re back, you can enjoy the following:

• A new Political Buzz poll asking for your opinion on Obama’s palpable shift to the center on a host of issues. Does it pay off, or is it a flip-flopping mistake? Vote in the box on the right side of the page.

• Results of the last poll:
  • Is John McCain’s reversal of position on offshore oil drilling…: ...An opportunistic flip-flop? 69%  …A clean and necessary political move? 22%  …No big deal. And Obama (hearts) terrorists! 9%

• Political Buzz.com editor Matt Parker will participate in a live online video chat during the “My ooVoo Week: Political Edition” later this month (July 30 and August 3). Should be fun as questions on the ‘08 campaign will be asked and answered live via video. Never too early to sign up with the ooVoo service and get a webcam to participate in the chat. Go to ooVoo.com for more info and to sign up - it’s free!
