The whole "Change For America" platform is one of the most overused political slogans in politics. It says nothing - "I dont like the way things are, neither do you, so I offer you change!" And people go crazy.

If it turns out to be Obama-McCain, Ill be happier because it wont be Hilary. But I still dont get the love affair. The guy is a great speaker and charismatic. I dont see him having the international experience to be effective and has run his platform on "change".
Well after the disaster that the Bush administration has become, I'd say change would be a good thing.
McCain just offers more of the same old, same old, albeit with more of an emphasis on the doing the war right while watching the economic bottom line.
