When you get your edit function off the ground you'll see a marked improvement. I've typed things into the new system that I've later thought better of (I'm talking seconds later). In the old days I'd just go back in delete it and leave a note saying "Sorry, rethought that!"
The edit function's really going to help a lot.

John Sidney McCain won't run up deficits the way Reagan did because John's been around the block a few times and he knows how to save money.
For example, when John's president the whole nation will have dinner at 5 pm at all you can eat places like Luby's. You get the early bird special and you can fill your lady's purse with rolls for breakfast in the morning!
John McCain will have a Secretary of Coupon Clipping. And you know, you don't need new clothes every year. A good shirt can last a lifetime. If it starts to fray at the bottom, just hitch up your pants!

Show some respect, whippersnapper!
And yes, John McCain fell asleep during the State of the Union in 2007. I don't know anyone who didn't! Why is it on so late, anyway?

A quick note on wonkiness because I'm in a rush -- this tends to be what we hear from folks who have worked with her, particularly when she first joined the Senate. Remember, there was a lot of coverage about whether or not she was doing a good job and a lot of people came out and said "This woman is really smart, she really gets policy, she really gets the process."
Of course, these are a self-selected group of people who either liked her or knew they'd have to work with her so...
I still think the wonkiness is true, though. A lot of her proposals, like freezing foreclosures and interest rate hikes, are very smart. That is the sign of a wonk.
Maybe her wonkiness isn't at issue. Maybe what you're really asking for is evidence that she is superior to Obama in this regard. That's a case I'd find much harder to make.
