"Really, what's changed?"

[ailsagirl]

The expections were low, and by all accounts, Sarah Palin exceeded them with her acceptance of the Republican vice presidential nomination. Speaking to the faithful last night, she demonstrated her ability to help McCain win the Republican base. Her mere game-changing nomination (read gender) may help with disaffected former Hillary supporters and Independents. Or not, because really, what's changed?

This Republican presidential nominee and this Republican vice presidential nominee are espousing the same Republican party principles. The issues of social policy, fiscal policy, and foreign policy put forward by this Republican team are the same as we've experienced for the past 8 years by the current Republican team. Do Americans want more Republicans?

Starkly different are the issues on social policy, fiscal policy, and foreign policy put forward by Obama/Biden and the Democratic party.

The country has already determined that Republican party principles have failed us, and the world. The country has determined that the change Democrats offer is our best hope to reach our goals and fulfill our potential. This is our campaign's talking points that will win the election. Tit for tat attacks won't. Yup, Sarah Palin and Rudy--a noun, a verb, and 9/11--Giuliani got in some zingers last night. But Democrats win if we push the issues. They are stark and clear: a change for the better or more of the same!

1. Nothing has changed, unless we let it

don't let up on the attacks on Palin. Her screaching attack speech last night, ensured our attacks are more than justified.

2. That's right-- we need to keep our eyes on the prize or risk

(God forbid) losing sight of it.
