Obama does have detailed policy positions (Google is our friend), and has spent more time holding elected office than Clinton. So much for being all speech and no substance.

Her supporters would be well advised to challenge Obama on their policy differences. I'm guessing they aren't doing that because they are desperate and willing to do anything to win.

If she does win the nomination she deserves to have the same accusations thrown at her by McCain, a man who seems incapable of giving a stirring speech.
