    I'm serious. The "change" routine has been used over and over again. Give me something fresh.

    Right after I say something about Biden's forthrightness, he bashes McCain's cheerleading of the Iraq War, while conveniently ignoring that he was McCain's co-head cheerleader for that war.

    I turned away, heard the cheering and thought Paris Hilton had walked on stage or something before seeing it was Obama.

    But really, MSNBC had it on their ticker. They showed Obama's motorcade and everything.

    Carter, Reagan, Clinton, and Bush, as well as some losers, I'm sure. Standard rule: If you're in the incumbent party, the most important thing is experience. If you're in the challenger party, the most important thing is change. That's true in every election.

    Of course it will. It's used by the challenger in every election all over the world. Kerry used it. Bush used it. Dole used it. Clinton used it. Etc.

    There's a reason for that - the whole idea of throwing out the incumbents is that it's time for some different, ie a change.

    People like to talk about Obama has a celebrity, but McCain has been in more tv shows and movies than Obama, so who's the celebrity?
