Like many of you here, I can read much faster than anyone can talk.
Political speeches are even slower than normal speech by a factor of at
least two, since they carefully anunciate, and because they are often
interrupted by cheering.  Not only can I read much faster than they can
talk, I can understand written text much better afterwards.  So, I don't
actually listen to the speeches, but rather read the transcripts.  I
understand that both Obama and Palin are good orators, but of course that
doesn't translate onto the page.

Here's what I have observed of reading the the front runners speeches: I
have a hard time figuring out where Senator Obama stands on anything.  With
Governor Palin, I understand her position and usually don't like it.  Barr
is easy to understand, but is only sorta libertarian.  I like Root pretty
well.  Libertarians get my vote this year.
