Yeah, inspiring genuine enthusiasm is such dirty pool. McCain and Clinton don’t play that way, why should he?

Someone looking for a good exposition of Obama’s non-vacuousness and non-nebulousness could hardly do better, IMHO, than to read [this one post by Hilzoy at Obsidian Wings](http://obsidianwings.blogs.com/obsidian_wings/2008/02/obama-actually.html). It’s a bit long, and I’ll try to remember to post selected excerpts in the morning.
