Desire to end the disastrous policies of the current administration...
Real differences between the candidates, looking to change the "status-quo" in Washington, a status-quo that extends beyond any particular party.
Health care that folks cannot afford, mortgage that they cannot pay. No more lobbyists. People have come together to say your ability to lead comes from longevity in Washington or proximity to the White House.

getting tough on corporations about taking jobs overseas. He said it in a way that I could have sworn Edwards has expressed it before. Each of them steals a little bit from each other. It even goes interparty---Romney and his "change" and "Washinton outsider" bit.
