Sen. John McCain has once again sided with the Bush Administration on another issue that he originally was against, according to a top adviser in the McCain campaign.

In a letter posted online by National Review this week, the adviser, Douglas Holtz-Eakin, said Mr. McCain believed that the Constitution gave Mr. Bush the power to authorize the National Security Agency to monitor Americans’ international phone calls and e-mail without warrants, despite a 1978 federal statute that required court oversight of surveillance.

Hmm, that doesn’t sound very much like the stance that Mr. McCain previously held just six months ago:

In an interview about his views on the limits of executive power with The Boston Globe six months ago, Mr. McCain strongly suggested that if he became the next commander in chief, he would consider himself obligated to obey a statute restricting what he did in national security matters.

This is the kind of continued results I think we will see from McCain throughout this election. This is one of several times where he has clearly changed a position, based on ideas that I can only speculate are to help him shore up voters.

I am sure the right-wing neos are loving this new position that McCain has taken.

**Update** - The Huffington Post has followed this up with a good story on it as well.
