"As Democrats are coming together this week in Denver to bring the change America's working families need and deserve, John McCain is bragging about his support for President Bush's failed and flawed policies and his promise of more of the same," said DNC spokesman Damien LaVera. "The last thing the American people can afford is another Republican who voted with President Bush more than 90 percent of the time and thinks the fundamentals of our economy are strong. Only someone who can't keep track of how many houses he owns would look back at the last eight years and say we need four more."

The following is the text of "Totally in Agreement:"
