Why does it seem the candiates are being so vague, does it seem that way to others?...

[annie1]

we've seen also their stump speeches, so it's not that we've just gotten the sound bites, don't they all seem like

they each say 'end the war, change no child left behind, change', then they each add:

hil: middle class
edwards: corruption
obama: hope

is it too soon for them to say more? and if so, of course the only thing that differs is speech pattern, errors, the tiny tiny tiny tiny contrasts hil/JE/OB have btwn them?

3. Because it is all about TV.

The television medium does not play to detailed specifics. Unfortunately, it is limited to 30 seconds.
