On cnn.com, I read an article about how both of our candidates were claiming to be agents of change. Each wants america to believe that by choosing them, then all the "change" we want will ensue. Upon reading the article (link at the bottom) I was a little taken back. I mean I knew both McCaine and Obama wanted us to vote for them but I never realized how desperate they both really were for us to jump on the Change Train. Originally, Obama was the man of change and it's been his campaign's theme from the beginning but lately McCaine has been claiming to be an agent of change as well. The desire for "change" and it's effect on the public is causing both candidates to bicker.
The article itself seemed unbiased and both sides appeared to be covered equally with the exception of there being no quotes from Biden on the issue of change. The article was presented fairly well because of there being less biase than I usuallly find within the media and it was quite newsworthy. Lately that has been what the race has been all about, change this, and change that. The country does need quite a bit of change, and the candidates both seem to think that they are it. The question is, is how much change exactly and who is really right for it.
Here's a link the to the article: http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/09/07/campaign.wrap/index.html
