Everybody knows McCain is not about change. If he was, it would have showed in his 25 plus year senate record and he wouldnt have voted with Bush 90% of the time. Change along with Sarah Palin are gimmicks in his campaign.
McCain does not give lip service to change he has been doing it!

Since the beginning of Obama’s campaign, he's being use the word “Change” as his campaign theme while McCain pushed “Experience”. This is not news to anyone who’s been following the political campaign.

After selecting Palin as his VP, McCain incorporated “Change” as well. Realizing that his military experience wouldn‘t take him all the way to the White House, so a change would be needed. I also noticed that McCain was using "change", but didn’t see it as a big deal. Most people are not that foolish, change what, his way of thinking, at 72, not likely.

I would agree that McCain has being implementing “changes”, so has George Bush. The types of changes that I don't want in my future.

Then the republicans accuse Obama as being a celebrity when they have made the running mate in their party a celebrity which by the way isnt the one running for president. They criticized Obama for just giving speeches but now all of a sudden Palin gives one speech and shes qaulified to be a heartbeat away from commander in chief. McCain has changed his message several times and usually thats a sign that a campaign is in trouble as we saw with Hillary Clinton. Obama has consistanly stayed on message since day one and support has never waivered. Will Americans buy McCain as being a change agent? I seriously doubt it. He does better just sticking with his experience message. Bottom line, there is just way too much support behind Obama. Its more than an election, there is a movement behind Obama and what he has planned for our country. People are angry with what has happen to our country under republican leadership and when they are angry, they come out to the polls in droves. The past two elections have been close. But Obama has helped register millions of new voters who never voted before. The independents and women are leaning towards Obama. Combine that with the millions of new voters and we have a democratic victory in November!

The kind of voters Obamoron attracts are more than likely those who will stay under the covers if they encounter a freezing, windy, icy November Election Day. They are titillated in their warm living rooms watching him strut to and fro onstage, but if these whiners are the least bit inconvenienced, that hard cold trip to the voting booth may just be out of reach....
