It's obvious that John McCain is out of touch with reality. There are many Montanans that can't afford to even buy a home, yet McCain can't remember how many he owns! He had to refer reporters to his staff for an answer.

McCain hasn't found Montana worth visiting, so how could he possibly know what the state of our economy is? What does McCain have to offer except another four years of Bush economics?

Barack Obama offers us a different view. He is giving us, the people of America, the chance to change the way things are done in Washington, D.C. He is giving us back the power to make a difference; the power to direct the way we want our country to run. Barack Obama definitely knows what the state of our economy is. He has visited here four times and plans are in the works for a fifth visit. He doesn't just spend that time with big politicos. He has spent time listening to the people of Montana, finding out what our concerns and needs are. He does bring us hope: Hope for a change that matters, a change that will truly make a difference.
