This election is about change; crowd in charge won't do it

Whoever I talk to, they say the same thing. They're tired of these gas prices. They're tired of health care premiums up 60% in just the last 6 years. They want fiscal responsibility in Washington. And they want a change of course in Iraq. That's not going to happen with this crowd in charge. I believe this election is about change, and together we can do it.
