Honestly there was a day when I could have imagined myself possibly voting for McCain. It's really a shame to see how he's basically sold his soul to get where he is right now. He had a lot of potential 8 years ago.

I just don't get what your saying he sold his soul. What issues is he pushing that are that much different then 8 years ago?

as recently as 2 weeks ago, John McCain had not uttered the word change, let alone used it for his platform. while i do agree the whole system is in dire need of one type of reform, or another, how can you just suddenly change your position, in mid election? he took what he thought the American people are clamouring for, and ran with it. smart move, but not legit. and lets talk about his voting record. he claims to be a maverick. got any proof? its easy to talk it. but walking it is a whole other story

His use of the word change is in the same context of what he has been saying all along and not a change in what he has been sayin he will do as president.
