Obama gave one of the clearest, most substantive explanations of the election (by either candidate) about what “changing Washington” means in Green Bay yesterday. Unfortunately, it wasn’t laced heavily with attacks on McCain or soundbites and therefore got very little coverage (even on political blogs).
But if you’re interested in actual issues and plans, give it a watch. He divided the speech into three sections: Political reforms, government reforms, and regulatory reforms. He may not be able to live up to all of his promises, but I haven’t heard these kind of specifics from McCain. As far as I can tell, McCain’s plan for reform is 1) vetoing earmarks and 2) bringing Sarah Palin to Washington.
