On the issues Americans care about, McCain is just Bush's term #3.
He'll keep us in the disastrous, hated war in Iraq.
He'll continue saber-rattling with Iran, possibly starting another war that American do not want.
He's another economic conservative, at a time when Americans want expanded healthcare and have grown distrustful of big business and corporate welfare.
It will be very easy to paint McCain as another Bush. Just older and an even worse debater.
I completely disagree. McCain is probably slightly better at debating. But seriously McCain is NOT the candidate of change, how exactly is he going to change anything? If you think about it he really would not change that many policies or even how our government is run and also he is an old hand in politics and usually these aren't the type of people who enact major reform.
