The difficulty for the Republican ticket in talking about change and reform and acting like insurgents is that they have been running Washington -- the White House and Congress -- for most of the last eight years.
I have a sneaking suspicion that the Obama camp has the smarts to point this out in effective ways.
It's a bit late for the party that owned Congress from 1995-2006, and has occupied the White House for the past 7.5 years, to pretend to be insurgents.
I suppose, in their separate ways, both McCain and Palin could be described as insurgents for the "Bush didn't go far enough" point of view. But that's not exactly a majority position.
