McCain spokesman on Veep vetter's resignation: "America can't afford a president who flip-flops on key questions in the course of 24 hours. That's not change we can believe in."

Counter-response from Team Obama asks why they don't see "a similar 'perception problem'" with their veep vetter, a prominent D.C. lobbyist.
