The LAT thinks John McCain took a "calculated gamble" when he decided to support offshore drilling. McCain's decision is not based on what he judges to be best for America and Americans but is instead just a vote-getting exercize. Meanwhile, Obama's decisions are principled, ethical and morally proper from the LAT's point of view.
McCain's position on offshore drilling could cost him California but it may help him in the Midwest, says the LAT, a gamble McCain was willing to take. Obama's decision to forego public financing for the general election campaign, on the other hand, allows him to "set his own terms" and "redraw the electoral map." The fact he broke a pledge is unimportant to the LAT.
