My parents on McCain's speech: "He didn't say anything!"
Mom: "I was left waiting for some substance!"
Dad: "He wants people to vote for him because he got beaten up in Vietnam and he's getting paid for it!"
Mom: "That VP woman doesn't like the old man. She keeps her distance- has to be thinking 'maybe he'll die in office!'"
Dad: "Obama will win easy."

3. Same impression I had--where was the substance?

I recall when Obama gave his speech (which ruled) the criticism people came up with the next days was--yeah, but where's the specifics? McCain went on about values and POW and so on--but the policies?

Nothin'!

(Edit: Changed "he" to "McCain"--not like you wouldn't have known who I was talking about! Just more clear to read.)

4. At least people ARE noticing that.
I can't wait for the debates. The difference will be striking.
