Our bus is way cooler than McCain’s bus
It looks like John McCain got a little jealous of the Bush Legacy Bus.
You see, our Bush Legacy Bus has been getting all sorts of great press coverage at its first stops in Washington DC, Dayton and Louisville. From the Boston Globe to Fox News to the Chicago Sun Times, everyone is talking about the failures of President Bush and his conservative allies like John McCain.
So rather than letting the Bush Legacy Bus get all the media love, John McCain's campaign relaunched its "Ride the Bus" contest. He's giving "one lucky McCainiac and a friend the chance to spend a day on the Straight Talk Express with John McCain."
There's no way we're letting the Straight Talk Express steal away attention from our Bush Legacy Bus. Anything John McCain can do, we can do better.

John McCain's Straight Talk Express is so 1999. This year, it's all about the Americans United for Change Bush Legacy Bus. Here's why:
The Straight Talk Express has one purpose: to drive lots and lots of reporters from one McCain campaign stop to another McCain campaign stop. And if someone on the bus isn't a reporter, chances are they're a pesky campaign staff member or a slick Washington lobbyist (which are usually one and the same on the Straight Talk Express).
The Bush Legacy Bus wasn't made for people with laptops and blackberries. It was made for regular folks across the country to learn about the failures of conservative leadership - and to see why progressive approaches to healthcare, the economy, foreign policy and other issues provide the solutions Americans are looking for.
You won't find interactive exhibits on conservatives' failures on Iraq or Katrina on the Straight Talk Express - heck, you'll be lucky to get a McCain staff member to talk about them.
