WASHINGTON - The general election is now in full speed — just check out the competing slogans.

Republican John McCain has transformed rival Barack Obama's slogan of "Change We Can Believe In" into his own line, "A Leader We Can Believe In."

McCain's campaign this week posted the personalized motto on its Web site, http://www.johnmccain.com. The white, bold words are posted on a blue background above red and white stripes — a pattern similar to Obama's campaign logo.

"The choice is between the right change and the wrong change; between going forward and going backward," follows Sen. McCain's new slogan.

After Sen. Obama gathered enough delegates to clinch the Democratic presidential nomination on Tuesday, McCain repeatedly evoked Obama's slogan at a rally while standing in front of a campaign banner that read "A Leader We Can Believe In."

"He doesn't trust us to make decisions for ourselves and wants the government to make them for us. And that's not change we can believe in," McCain said Tuesday.

Obama's campaign also revised its Web site, http://www.barackobama.com.

It now says "WE DID IT" in bold, blue letters highlighted by images of fireworks.

Mercy, McCain's people aren't even clever enough to come up with an original slogan, they have to rip off Obama??

Sadly for him, he is NOT a "leader I can believe in", simply because he supports the Iraq War... I can't believe in any leader who still holds that position...

Just one more reason I'll never vote for McLame. He really doesn't have anything original. At this point, he doesn't have any real ideas. He's playing it safe and talking about continuing Bush's failed policies.

I'm appalled. I expected more out of McCain, but it's politics as usual.

Like Obama is Mr. Original himself. I guess I can't recall a politicians campaign ever centering on "change".

Well, if Obama wins, you had better batten down the hatches, because while we're going down hill now, the trip will get even faster
