Brokaw: But the fact is, Governor, that you had eight years of a Bush administration, and a lot of Republicans in Congress for the past eight years. So why wouldn't the American people say, 'look, they had their shot, we're gonna change?'"

Ridge: Because John Bush...because John McCain is very much his own man. Because John McCain brings a different style, a different approach to the Republican leadership.

Mark Sanford, Bobby Jindal and Mitt Romney have all fallen into the same trap. Why can't Republicans answer the simple question of how McCain will be different from Bush? McSame indeed.

  John McCain is nothing like George W. Bush. He just has the same people running his campaign. Nothing wrong with that.

Politico:

Steve Schmidt is taking over the day-to-day operation of John McCain’s campaign, according to multiple campaign sources.

McCain sources say Schmidt, who ran Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's reelection campaign and was a top communications aide in Bush-Cheney '04, will coordinate the campaign's daily pro-McCain and anti-Obama message but also will have an increased role in shaping most every facet of the organization including scheduling, policy, coalitions and surrogates.

So McSame moves from a lobbyist with Charlie Black to one of Dick Cheney's team--from K Street to Dirty Tricks.  Nice move.  Remember, this isn't the first major shakeup of the McCain campaign team. We'll just have to wait and see how this plays out for him.
