The rolling ball needs to be stopped! Not continue to roll into Iran or bounce around Iraq for 100 yrs. The only thing McCain has shown it that he CAN NOT seperate himself from the last 8yrs, he CAN NOT find himself from 2000 and he CAN NOT let go of the campaign by FEAR mentality that has been the republican way since 9/11. The problem for McCain is that it is only he and the SMALL heard of Bush sheeple who are afraid of the "brown boogeymen". The other 85% of America have more realistic concerns and some fears, but those are for our country, our children, our economy, healthcare, enviroment, our general well being as a country. Not "Freddy Alibaba Cruger" or "Micheal the Sheik Meyers", real fears, real concerns. War is your answer for everything and it solves NOTHING, not these wars, not "WARS FOR OIL".

McCain’s ‘Change’ Speech
Email To A Friend
Please fill in the following information and we'll email this link.
While McCain's aides have long argued that the Arizona senator is regarded by voters as his "own brand" distant from Bush and other Republicans, the speech was clearly a nod to the lessons that McCain learned in watching Bob Dole's presidential run in 1996. Back then, Dole, a war hero just like McCain, was defined early in the race as a creature of Washington incapable of bringing the kind of change and reform voters craved. It was an image that ultimately doomed Dole's bid, and McCain and his aides don't want a repeat.
In New Orleans, McCain said the word "change" or a variation of it more than 30 times in his speech—a sign that he knows what voters are looking for. The big unknown heading into the fall is whether McCain's record and ability to deliver change can trump the message of "hope" that has fueled the Obama phenomenon so far.
