Obama's Mile-High Speech
Reportedly, Obama's acceptance speech will offer what everyone has been clamoring for -- "substance rather than rhetoric."
As the New York Times editorialized yesterday, Obama needs to be clear about what he and the Democratic Party stand for. Barack Obama should strive to be just as clear as Hillary Rodham Clinton has been about what the Democratic Party stands for:

The Republicans, she said, support a “government where the privileged come first and everyone else comes last.”
