Why would we need change, from republicans point of view?
GOP doesn't get it. Rush Limbaugh lost it yesterday when someone tried to bring up the issue of W's economic performance. Forget traditional lib measures like income redistribution or poverty levels. Republican measures like stock market returns, job creation, and spending as a share of GDP have all been dramatically worse under W than Clinton.
And the earmark talk is driving me crazy. Earmark spending isn't the problem, Medicare expansion and interest payments for excessive borrowing tower over bridges, tunnels, rail, and all other sources of pork. Entire Fed Highway Admin budget is 8% of the total spend on DoD, Iraq, and Afghanistan.
I'm still undecided, but leaning Obama. As much as I disagree with his rhetoric, it will be very difficult for his economic performance to be worse than W's. Plus, he'll be more likely than Mac to make the military cuts we need to balance the budget.
