Flip-flopping

article

It seems that every candidate is being accused of and accusing someone else of flip-flopping, and everyone just doesn't want to be the latest one one the accusing side. Edwards accused Clinton of it, Clinton accused Romney, Obama isn't giving clear answers. Last election Kerry was accused of flip-flopping. It seems that it would be better to change one's opinion that keep one that was opposed to new information. I understand that it shows a lack of commitment to one's position that might foreshadow a future change in policies, but aren't there more important things to be worrying about than whether a candidate's positions now and years ago are the same?
