Actually, really the only two candidates from either party that were offering real change were Ron Paul and Dennis Kucinich...but come on....it's Ron Paul and Dennis Kucinich.

Huckabee might sound genuine and populist, but he pretty much represents the failed policies of the past. The last time we 'elected' a genuine-sounding Christian conservative who ran on the appeal of non-interventionism, fear of abortion, and gay rights neither outlawed abortion nor did he outlaw gay rights. Instead we got the politics as usual and an almost 5-year quagmire that has cost countless people their lives and drove the economy into the ground.

When will people realize that abortion and gay rights are never going to be 'solved', but they're just hot-button issues to get Christian conservatives off their pews and into the voting booth? Bush's strategist, Karl Rove, is agnostic; and he sure does know how to exploit the Christian vote.

As for Obama, he might be a breath of fresh air but I doubt any substantial change will follow suit.
