A wave of change?

Almost 58,000 people have requested an early ballot for Mesa's election. We will have to wait and see how many of these folks actually turn them back in, but one thing is for certain, it looks like people are at least motivated to participate this year.

Is it Obama's message of hope? Is it having McCain on the national ticket? Are people just fed up with the city? Only time will tell, but its clear that all three candidates think that the larger turn out means that people are looking for change.
