Obama and McCain are running on different sorts of change.
Obama has a different economic plan than what we've had for the past eight years. McCain doesn't.
McCain wants to cut pork, I don't know that Obama has ever come out strongly against that. Obama wants to invest in future technologies, health care, education, and other areas that are of domestic and long term importance. McCain wants to run on the past strategies but cut pork.
Now, I admit that's a bit of a simplification, but in broad strokes it is mostly how I understand their campaings. My money is on the investment strategy.
I suppose if you think the economy stems from pork, then you vote for McCain's change. If you think the economy stems from Bush's economic ideology you vote for obama.
Palin's problem (one of many) is that she is not transparent at all, in fact some have gone so far to say that she tells untruths. So that's the problem with her bridge stance.
I think there was something else I wanted to add but I forget... age and all....
The problem with Sarah Palin I think, and this is just an observation on my part Cali, is I don't think the media is used to someone who speaks directly without tring to see some hidden agenda in the meaning. So therefor, it must be a lie, why? because they have not had th ability to run it through there little fact check machine. I'll cite you another example, Barack Obama when he was in the primary fight with Hillary Clinton and all this media hype about his middle name and possible muslim connections came up and some speculated that he must be untruthful. Well you know and I know all that was complete bunk and and a perception issue. As is the Sarah Palin thing, my thing is, you would think that Obama would know better, after his treatment to have his campaign make accusations like this when he himself is doing the same thing now.
