McClellan isn't our Afghanistan general. McClellan was the general who, during the Civil War, was so stubborn and unwilling to act that Lincoln once quipped "if you're not using your army, may I borrow it?" It's a rather ironic slip-up.
Palin isn't actually quoting any statistics. Her comments about "reform" and other things don't make sense. How do you sustain reform? How do you "continue his policies of reform"? You make a reform, and then you don't need more reform. America, meet conservatism.
Biden, as most of us predicted, is ignoring Palin completely. He is looking forwards, equating again and again the policies of McCain and Bush.
Another thing: the Republican called the ticket a "team of Mavericks". Mrs. Palin, now that you read this blog (along with every newspaper and magazine) please name one issue on which you disagree with the conservative base of your party. There is none.

The standard definition of conservatism is their opposition to reform. In today's political climate, this can be expanded to include "reluctant acceptance of change when it is absolutely necessitated by societal need".
So, why does Palin keep on stating that McCain will bring reform? The basic tenants of conservatism are opposed to change. The American people want change, and the ticket that realistically represents this change is Biden's.
Obama/Biden '08
Correction: eliminate 'their' in the first line
