"The John McCain we see running for President right now is not the same John McCain he was in 2000," said Matt Sowards, president of the Cabell County Young Democrats. "He's not this political maverick he claimed to be. He has turned in to be just another Bush man."

The Obama supporters claimed McCain is hooked with big oil and will do nothing to help the nation's energy crisis. "We can't stand four more years of the failed policies in Washington," Sowards said. "That's why we're out here for Barack Obama, we want change in Washington."

Sowards admitted the polls in both West Virginia and Kentucky show McCain leading Obama. He also agreed McCain seems to be paying more attention to both states right now. "I certainly hope Senator Obama will be coming to West Virginia," he said. "I certainly think that Senator Obama is going to make a presence in West Virginia. I know he is going to have troops on the ground here," he said.
