9. Struck me as mostly fluff, sound and no fury, signifying not much
Yes, just like Hillary did, he mentioned a few issues that need focus, but it was a million miles from Edwards's rousing speech about economic justice.

I know it's so gauche to be angry, but I am angry at what's happened to my country, and I'd prefer a candidate who feels that way, too.

But accepting that Obama may well have a straight shot at the nomination, I want to know what specific aspects of his platform I can count on him driving home as President, so I can focus on those issues and sublimate my frustration at his untimely -- if, apparently, marketable -- happy talk.

I am going to support the Democratic nominee, but I need to hear more substance that will give me something to rally around, if he is the anointed one.
