Bush, the sitting, mostly despised president, embracing Sen. McCain, his hopeful successor. Does that look like change to you?

That's what St. Paul, Minnesota Democrats have been pasting up on area billboards in anticipation of the GOP's delegates, arriving this weekend for the Republican National Convention.

"People driving on I-94 into intoSt. Paul will encounter a giant billboard with a photo of John McCain and President Bush," said Jamie Reese, an anchor for MyFox9.com, in a Wednesday segment. "It comes courtesy of the Democratic party, and smaller versions are already popping up all over town."

"We're gonna be here in force, making sure that the voters in the Twin Cities and across the country know that John McCain is offering four more years of President Bush's failed policies," said Damien Lavera with the Democratic National Convention.

"More lobbyist influence," read one sign. "More politics as usual," says another. "More tax breaks for oil companies," says yet a third. "Does this look like change to you?" they all ask.
