Both candidates in the current election do it, but for what ever reason Kerry is getting the worse of it. Personally, I think it's easier to come up with examples of Bush doing it than Kerry.

Do you not see a difference between changing your position because you feel your previous position was a bad idea on the merits and changing your position because the polls indicate it would be better for you to get elected?
Kerry switched on the war to beat Dean and to gain the support of the anti-war contingent in the Dem party. That is a far cry from switching positions on the merits of the issue.
Great, vote to send troops but then vote against sending them supplies.
