Well, I care about the substance more than how it is said. I don't even watch republican speeches, preferring to read them.
I read some interesting analysis pre speech by Dick Morris. In 2000, Gore was down 7 when he gave an incredibly wonky dispassionate speech at the convention, and went up by 10 for a 17 point jump. Morris predicts the typical Obama speech will provide an emotional bump, which rarely lasts. Morris is a pretty smart political mind.
I find it interesting, though, that you, Alex, seem more concerned with the delivery than the substance.
Edited to add: Great point, Moonliner.
