Apparently one of the attractions of Barak Obama for some Democratic voters is that he’s seen as an agent of change. There’s some question about his experience and his accomplishments. There’s also some question about what he will actually do if he’s elected to the Presidency, but he is seen as "the candidate for change."

Meanwhile, quite a few conservatives (including myself) have waxed despondent over the presumptive nomination of John McCain to the Republican candidacy for President. He is, after all, no conservative. Sure, he’s a Republican, but he’s one of the most liberal of Republicans. He has more in common with Edward M. Kennedy than with Ronald Reagan. He is also, sadly, typical of the sort of politician that seems to represent the Republican party over the last several years.
