In my view McCain is not an agent of change in regard to earmarks. He's been in the senate for 26 years and the process has not changed.... and he's not likely to change the process in 4 years as a president.

Especially if he intends to live up to his promises of victory in Iraq, revitalization of our economy, and cutting the fat from the budget. All those things require passage of legislation to which blanket veto stands in stark opposition.
