In a press conference today recorded by Chicago Public Radio, Rep. Rahm Emanuel took a few questions regarding the presidential race and came up with a kinda clever way of describing John McCain's co-opting of Barack Obama's "change message." Listen here:
EMANUEL: John McCain is not the change agent. So I believe we're in a tight race. And the real race that's going to come out is who is going to represent change from George Bush on economic policies and foreign policies. And I think that Barack Obama represents that change and John McCain is trying to lip-sync it. [...]
But I do believe that this is: who is the authentic agent of change? And Barack Obama represents that authentic change. He will fundamentally alter the economic polices that have benefited the few while the rest of us have paid. And he will not lip-sync that change.

According to the McCain Finance Chair in Illinois, McCain's running on a platform of "reform, prosperity, peace". As if the 8 years of "peace and prosperity" under Bush weren't enough. These people are scoundrels.
