O's campaign is built upon tying McCain to W and then saying they'll come in and change everything. But McCain is out there with his own change campaign. That's blunting O's message. Just like Clinton did in '92 and '96 when he started co-opting Bush 41 and Dole's messages. It's pretty effective. And McCain has enough credibility as a "maverick" to pull it off.

I keep getting these emails from the Obama campaign telling me how McCain voted with Bush's position 90% of the time. Well, in the senate, most votes are overwhelmingly one-sided, so that's not really that unusual. I bet Biden and Obama also voted with Bush's position a majority of the time.
