McCain-Palin try to steal "change" from Obama - Yesterday, in Terre Haute, Indiana Obama pointed out how ridiculous this attempt is. He pointed out McCain having voted with Bush over 90% of the time and Palin hiring lobbyists to get dollars from earmarks before now saying she is against them. CNN.com has more here.
--------------------
McCain's temper a concern for many - over the years, for those who have worked with him closely, McCain's temper outbursts have been often.
