It's Worth the Read

In a recent Newsweek article, author Holly Bailey does a remarkable job of presenting the ‘Change’ McCain wishes to bring in the fall election against Barack Obama. Bailey points out McCain’s respect for Clinton, as well as his need to remain distinct from President Bush’s administration.

This article is worth reading due to its uncommon nature of all the other political articles on the media scene right now. Instead of investing time in reading what Clinton couldn’t do that won’t change, let’s look to the current prospects of the presidential race.

McCain is makes it very clear that he is choosing to remain separate from Bush’s policies and execution of the war in Iraq. McCain also counters Obama’s allegations that voting for him would indeed be an extension of the Bush presidency and a vote for a third Bush term. Bailey also points out the similarities between McCain and the Dole election of 1996. The article is concluded with the comparison of McCain’s practical call for ‘Change’ and Obama’s popular call for ‘Hope’.
