It's amazing much thought can be afforded to one word. Change. This word effectively umbrellas all the hot button issues of this race for the presidency. The American people are crying out for change and each party is taken note and espousing policies as far from the incumbent as humanly possible.

I just received my absentee ballot in the mail. Now what? I'm torn between both parties, I'll be honest. McCain uses the terms "Straight-talk Express" and Obama presses that McCain is out of touch with reality. The truth of the matter is, these politicians want votes. Will they say anything to get it?

I don't know what scares me more: McCain ending up being like Bush III or Obama not having a clue once he's in office. Time is the only solution to this problem - in the meantime, I have to figure out which of these are more threatening.


Obama is guaranteed "change" - for better or for worse. And McCain promises change with more experience to back up his claims. As the American public we now have the power to change the course of history and transform this country. This definitely is a change in seasons. It's a time for social change, but once the powers that be change hands - let's hope that they don't change their intentions for America.
