McCain and Palin take show to Ohio

Before another sizable crowd, John McCain and Sarah Palin brought their road show today to the crucial battleground state of Ohio.

McCain told supporters in Lebanon that Ohio is a "state we must win and will win in November," and noted the new enthusiasm.

"We've got to turn that into a victory on November 4th," he declared.

The Arizona Republican reiterated that he and Palin are a "team of mavericks."

"We'll return this government to the people of this country," he said. "Change is coming and real change is coming to Washington, D.C."

While Democrat Barack Obama calls himself the agent of change, McCain said, he has never taken on his party, and has fallen into line with other senators seeking hundreds of pork barrel projects.

"Don't be fooled," McCain said.

Palin repeated her reformist, tax-cutting story as mayor of Wasilla, Alaska, and as the state's governor since December 2006. She promised to bring the same tax relief to Washington, and to reform the "corrupt practices" in how Congress spends money.
