It's hard to run as the more conservative candidate when you have to work hard not to communicate "we'll give you more of the same" because the current situation is wildly unpopular.
I feel like there are a lot of things McCain could focus on that would indicate that he's going to change the bad things in Washington, while keeping some of the good things. He could focus on the economy, energy, and a more effective strategy in Iraq and Afghanistan. But he chose to take the low road, and so has Gov. Palin. It's unfortunate, because I'm one of those people who really could have gone with McCain.
