Change – Number 1 buzzword of the Primary Season with an index rating 10X that of any other word or phrase.

It's all about change this presidential year. Candidates in both parties - across the ideological spectrum - are mouthing the word, again and again. The beauty of "change" as a political buzzword is its malleability. Espousing change is one thing. Defining it, step by step, is another.
