"All this promising rhetoric, however, will be put to the test when Obama is called on to take a position in the fall"

Anyone who has checked the vote by vote comparison (votesmart.org) of Obama and Hillary for the years they both had the chance to vote on the same bills will quickly realize two things. First, that on the actual votes cast, their positions were practically identical. Second, that Obama actually skipped voting on a large number of bills, including most budget bills for 2007. You call this making a change? I call it missing in action. I doubt that someone that prefers rhetoric over action will sway someone of my generation. After 30 years of work, three kids, and all that goes with those responsibilities, a speech maker just does not cut it. Hillary may focus on too many facts and may be a bit crusty from 15 years of being attacked by the Republicans, but at least she'll get the facts right, and won't be missing in action in the difficult negotiations with Congress and the world.
