Who has demonstrated actual change and stood out? Palin or Obama?

Don't know much about Obama actually DOING much change.

I know Palin took on her own Alaskan Republican Party, took on an incumbent Republcian and promised to clean up government and turn it around. And she did.

What evidence is there that Obama can make change to government in an executive postion? Missing senate votes and co-sponsoring bills don't show it to me. And I don't see how he is any different from any other Dem senator - voting alongside them consistently.

    You point out something that is the oldest axiom ' actions speak louder than words'

    PS In traditional logic, an axiom or postulate is a proposition that is not proved or demonstrated but considered to be either self-evident, or subject to necessary decision. Therefore, its truth is taken for granted, and serves as a starting point for deducing and inferring other (theory dependent) truths.

    I Laugh At People Who Thinks That McCain Picked Palin Because Of What Shes Done... Or Her Views. McCain Is Playing Politics... He Picked Someone Who Would Gain Women Votes... A Younger Person To Make The Younger Folks Happy, And Someone Who Has Little Pull, So He Can Just Run All Over Her.

    At The Start Of This Election Year... He Blabbed About Obama Has No Experience, How Hes Too New To Become President Ect. And What Does He Do? Pick Someone Thats All The Same... Or Worst Off. Now I Dont Know Too Much About Palin... But I Hope She Knows She Was Not Choosen Because Of Her History In Politics, But Yet, Her Ablity To Hopefully Bring On Fresh Votes.

    Palin initiated reforms which altered the face of politics in Alaska, even though it meant going against her own party, as well as facing up to the opposing Democrats and also presenting a challenge to the oil companies.

    Obama seems to be full of rhetoric, with no proper game plan as to how he's going to achieve his goals or what to do once he's in the White House, if he actually achieves his goal of being elected.

    Obama and Palin actually voted on opposite sides of a controversial bill, to build a bridge in Alaska which would not actually go anywhere. Obama voted for the bridge, Palin voted against it.

    Mc Cain has shown he knows what the people want by picking Palin. Not just the word change,but substance. Obama doesn't have that. Just words. The same words over and over,and in between he is attacking Gov Palins record and experience.
