Change vs. more of the same

I know the Republicans think they can use their tendentious reading of this "symbol" controversy as a way of reliving the glory of past campaigns, but I think they are making a big mistake.

The truth is that Barack Obama's candidacy does represent our best hope for real change, for living up to America's promise, both at home and overseas. Barack Obama's candidacy does symbolize a break from the status quo of the Bush-Cheney years.

Meanwhile, John McCain does symbolize the past. McCain does symbolize four more years of the same old stuff.

If the GOP wants to dispute that, then fine -- game on, let's do it.
