Palin states Biden is not an agent of change

"When our opponent made his choice, he went for a fine man,� she said. �A decent man. Sen. Biden can claim many chairmanships across many, many years in Washington, and certainly many friends in the Washington establishment. But even those admirers would not be able to call him an agent of change.�

So let me get this straight:

McCain : In Washington for decades but he's an agent of change.
Biden : Has been in Washington for decades, but is not an agent of change.

Palin, as governor of the smallest state (by population) in the union, with 2 years of experience, is an agent of change and "a maverick".

Palin can bring real change. Creationism in the classrooms, anti-choice for America's women.

The Republicans are trying to steal the "Agent of Change" argument as they see Freddie Mac and Fannie May collapsing, and the unemployment rate skyrocketing.

It's like the hall of mirrors in a carnival. Obama and Biden are suddenly being cast as the Beltway Brothers while McCain and Palin are the Maverick Republicans ready to change politics forever.

(head spinning from Palin's idiocy)

is good attention.

If you say it long enough people believe.

Palin's tactic is to mirror everything, Barack can do the same. I've written him about this. He can mirror her in a factual way, but let her do it in a malicious or hypocritical way. He needs to counter and often.

They can claim all they want, it's up to us to research and counter it immediately.

Total nonsense comment! 0 years of experience compared to her? This is such a ridiculous claim that the rest of your comment doesn't merit discussion.

Obama is NOT spiraling out of control BUT you are! I suspect this is big time concern trolling.

But, I have to say that the author is 100% on traget. McCain-Palin is a "hall of mirrors". There is NO substance to Palin as can be easily told that she needs two weeks to be coached on national/foreign policy before she will even take questions from reporters. McCain believes in nothing anymore except to get elected - what accomplishments does McCain have to boast on? His biggest one - so called campaign finance reform - is a sham! He purposely put in 527C loopholes and has been exploiting it since this campaign started.
McCain's entire campaign staff are lobbyists - what change is he going to bring to Washington when his platform has been shaped by the insiders. This is an insult to our intelligence.
