Colorado House candidate, Rick O'Donnell, was forced to reveal today he wrote an essay eleven years ago calling for Social Security to be abolished and replaced with a "mandatory, private savings scheme." Today, he says, he's better informed. Now he says he wants to phase it out and replace it with prviate accounts.

The Rocky Mountain News is playing this like he's changing his position. But what's the change?

Someone ask this bozo what's the difference between his position then and his position now.

O'Donnell also says President Bush "bungled" Social Security phase-out last year by advocating the phase-out plan O'Donnell says he himself supports.

Who is this guy? I'm not sure I've ever seen a would-be pol who isn't even capable of successfully executing a flip-flop.
