He probably will represent the interests of the people better than McCain, though not because of anything to do with the Keating 5. McCain showed some bad judgment there, but he didn't play a large part in it, nor did he do anything particularly bad. The reason Obama is likely to represent the interests of the people better is because his program is simply much better.
However, Obama's program is nowhere near perfect. It isn't even particularly good. Those believing he will bring true change are gullible fools. Those chanting his name and spreading the word are idiot cultists.
If Obama is elected, he will likely repair some of the damage Bush has done to the economy, improve America's image abroad a bit, and slightly strengthen some of America's old alliances. Good things, certainly, but nowhere near spectacular. There will be no economic miracle, no sudden disappearance of improper lobbying and pork barrel spending, no 180 degree turn on civil rights.
