    Re - It doesn't further discussion on any of the issues that should be forefront.

    snark - If we want to know about issues, I thought all we had to do was go to Obama's website. /snark

    Seriously, though, Obama will have to do a better job of explaining his policies. I watched him on MTP on the Sunday before the NC/IN primaries, and when the discussion turned to energy policy, Obama

    • criticized both Clinton and McCain's gas tax holiday proposals and provided good reasons for doing so, then he
    • pandered on ethanol
    • made vague, generic statements about nuclear power, coal, solar, etc that amounted to nothing more than being for the good and against the bad.

    He's going to do better than that, and he'll need to do a lot better than saying he's a believer in clean Kentucky coal, whatever that is. See http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/05/06/obama-flier-panders-to-ke_n_100416.html
