The American Spectator

That's quite a contrast, come to think of it. For all Obama's talk about creating change, McCain will be a difficult opponent. Despite Obama's presence as a "revolutionary" candidate, his resume is thin, or as Rep. Tom Cole referred to it this morning, "thinner than Wendell Wilkie's." Meanwhile, McCain has been constantly pitched as an agent of change, a maverick, etc. To really do damage to McCain, Obama will have to unravel the well-established (mythical) view of McCain as a maverick. But doing so will have enough negativity that it could prove toxic for Obama.

By one friend's count, McCain said "my friends" 10 times. Yeah, he does that, doesn't he.
