Plain and simply, this election is about change and McCain will not change America. He represents another 4 years of War in Iraq and another 4 years of the slow slide into recession.
If the race is Obama versus McCain, I predict Obama takes it on a message of hope and change over McCain's status quo.

And what does Obama represent?
A sudden 'change' in the recession, and a instant withdrawal in Iraq leaving the country in shambles?
What kind of screwed of plan is that?
Contrary to popular 'brainwashing'....Obama is not going to go into the White House and suddenly turn the country around 180 degress and make everything better. If the US is indeed heading into a recession, Obama will have to work through that, just like McCain. Unless he can secretly drop the price of oil 50 bucks, and cut ALL the pork out of the budget.
EDIT: I should clarify by saying that while Obama will certainly not turn Washington around 180 degrees, he can certainly 'start' to implement change, and try to make things different. But it won't be the change people are hoping for.
Which is unlikely, considering Obama is even more pro-government that Hillary is. So chances are, nothing gets cut, and the US chugs along with the same deficit.
You are expecting a lot....most of what won't happen.
Including the instant change in Iraq. Obama would be a complete fool to withdraw troops tomorrow....especially with the surge showing promising results.
Geez.
But hey, he'll change Washington. Good luck with that.
I wonder how he'll do once he actually has to present his platform.
