Everybody in this election cycle is claiming that they are the agent of change for Washington.  McCain is perceived as a maverick and will bring some sort of conservative change  if he is elected.  Obama is a Washington outsider, at  least that is the perception, is seen as some sort of “progressive” change, if he becomes the president.

But the change has not been evident in the campaigns of the two candidates, hell the tax debate they are having is about as “old school” as it comes.  McCain will make all better with massive tax cuts, a typical conserv point and Obama will be a “tax and spend” Dem.  This debate could have been had in the 70’s and gives the voter nothing new or anything resembling change.

I have been watching both campaigns and so far I have seen nothing that would indicate a change in Washington no matter which one of them is elected.  McCain is traveling the tired path of Bush and Obama is leaning to the same lame path of the Clinton years and the domination of the Party by the DLC.

So, I suggest if the voter is truly looking for a change in Washington, that they spend their time checking out other candidates, but that would take foresight and most voters prefer hindsight.
