Bush has an approval rating of 31%, but the democratic led Congress is at 12%, and has not hit above 15% since the beginning of the year (Washington Post). Based on the approval rating Americans do not like what the democratic led congress has accomplished. So just how does the Obama/Biden ticket make a case for change? Both have voted along democratic party lines 96.0% of the time (Washington Post) compared to McCain at 88% (Washington Post). Ironically, McCain who is being billed as “More of the Same” actually deviates from the Republican party line 3 times more than Obama and Biden deviate from their party, the party that controls Congress and has an all time low approval rating. So which is really more of the same and which actually will drive change? Both McCain and Palin cross party lines, and their parties for that matter, at risk to their own political careers.
