another take on change

[jfb]

Rachel Maddow, quoted by Digby:

Hillary believes the thing that needs to be changed is that Bush needs to be out and the Democrats need to be back in there. Edwards believes the thing that needs to be changed is that the moneyed interests and the lobbyists need to be taken out of the political game. Obama believes that what needs to change is that he needs to be the president because he is a personally unifying character...Democrats are being asked whether they believe in party, in which case they should be for Hillary, if they believe in power they should be for Edwards and if they believe in personality, they should vote for Obama.

Don't know what I think about that.

Speaking of "change", have you read this?

I hadn't read it, although I thought about it while I was writing that last post. Noah's point is fair in general, although I think in this case it's obvious that the Bush presidency has sucked and "change" means "stop doing what he's been doing". And if you listen to the candidates you can figure out what they mean to change specifically.
