If you look at political campaigns since the invention of television, and maybe even before then, going into the specifics of your policy ideas is almost always the losing way to go.

I think Obama's going to win the Presidency, and I think he'll probably do at least a decent job. Most of them have, really. We've had some spectacular failures, and some notable successes, but most of our Presidents have been pretty mediocre. Which is what you'd expect... fairly graded, most students get C's and B's.

He's a great speaker. So is Tony Robbins. All talk with no content to back up what was just said. Case in point: Hope/Change. Hope for what? A better America? DUH! Everybody that's a good citizen wants a better America. Change? What change? All talk with no specifics.
