Too late. And Hillary's no outsider, either.

Anyone who doubts McCain-Palin can shake up Washington need only look at how badly they’ve shaken up Barack Obama

What else they got?
Only 50 days left
The thing is Sarah Palin is as far outside DC as you can get...

Im afraid GW Bush wont win this election
and we have at least 20 days of Palin is the Devil to go
This line is GREAT!
I hope that the McCain/Palin team has someone monitoring these boards. They need to use this line on the stump. It will be a CROWD PLEASER!
I can hear the roar as I think about it.
Some of these writers are excellent analysts, but I sure do wish they’d stop giving suggestions to the Democruds.
Well there's that white hating people's communist revolution thing. I think Obama OWNS that. ;-)
And Joe Tripp’s candidate will never be heard from again. He got caught fathering a baby with the videographer.
Obama is not getting his message out to the voters and its not clear if he even has one

He had a primary message. It appealed to the far left and carried the early primary contest for Obama (along with a fawning media and maybe a little fraud). He used the identity politics of the DNC to minimize Hillary and coast to victory.
His handlers and campaign failed to transition the campaign or message from primary mode into general election mode. He was stuck with attempting to define McCain as 4 more years of Bush. Hillary was right, Obama could not win the election with the same message. In the arrogance of an unlikely nomination victory they forgot that the last 2 democrat Presidents ran in the middle.
McCain did not allow himself to be defined by others with the Palin pick (brilliant - energized base) and the convention (great) leaving Obama with nothing beyond the platform he won the primary with. McCain, an independent favorite, even stole the message of change!
Obama needed a gigantic lead going into the homestretch, a demoralized GOP base, and he and his media friends had to define McCain as the 3rd term of Bush to win. I believe it would have still been a close race even if he had accomplished all three because Obama is a seriously flawed candidate with no resume.
I agree with your comments but I do think Obama still has a message. Unfortunately for him, it’s not the message that wins national elections.
Any member of the Congressional pork-loving establishment should not be cracking jokes about pigs.
mccain always had the message of change because he was the one who ran against Bush in the first place. None of the other republicans in the primary could do this because they defended Bush’s policies and the economy.
He had the image within the GOP of change. I think he got that message out nationally at the convention.
We all take for granted that our fellow citizens are as informed as we are on politics/current events. Most of our fellow Americans are blissfully ignorant.
Give McCain props for maximizing his face time with the public with a definition of himself.
