I think that says alot don't you?

Exactly. Actually, I would have to say, for many of us swing voters (I know I'm on a ledge here "speaking" for swing voters) Change vs. Experience is a very compelling case. I would suggest the 70-80% DO want change. Which is why the McCain strategy to me seems so baffling.

I fit this demographic mold. While I admired the military hero POW experience of McCain, it can only carry you so far. One of the reasons McCain has pretty much lost me to Obama is because of his failure to recognize the change 70-80% of us want. he seems completely out of touch to me. The other reason why I liked McCain was because he was a "maverick" and possessed the willingness to cross the aisle. But with his campaign, he just seems old and out of touch to me. Not the fiery progressive maverick I thought he was.
