| 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.
