The DNC platform for the convention

Here it is
We'll post the RNC platform when we have it.
Here's some notes:
-- John Kerry's 2004 platform used the buzzword "strong" vs. Obama's 2008 "renewing." ("Strong economy" vs "Renewing the American dream")
-- Just that right there shows you that this is a change election and people are a lot more comfortable with subtle platitudes then they may have been 4 years ago.
-- Some moderate or conservative Democrats may balk at the strong support for roe v. wade that's contained in this document. Obama has been an unabashed supporter of a woman's right to choose probably more so than any other Democratic nominee in at least 20 years. Although this may hurt him on the right, it's a position he has refused to compromise on and may endear him to many fringe women's groups that supported Hillary and may not have otherwise supported him.
-- Obama has tough words for absent fathers, but anyone familiar with his stump speech or any of the recent confrontations he's had with the black community may be familiar with this harsh rhetoric.
-- The platform flatly states "We reject illegal wire-tapping of American citizens." Now this statement may be right along the lines of "We the Democratic party hereby reject the illegal murder of cute puppies," but seeing as how the Democratic-majority congress failed to block, or even sponsor a full-throated attack on FISA last month, may mean that this issue may be coming back if Obama is elected, and they were just waiting for a larger majority.
-- Most everything else seems standard Democratic party boilerplate, (making sure they don't appear soft on crime or national security) I think it would be interesting if there is some upcoming analysis that shows if/when the party deviates either towards the left or towards the right based on Kerry's 2004 party platform. My guess is that Obama, although perceived by many conservatives as a staunch liberal, has in the past and will continue to welcome a lot of gravitation towards the right. I believe he is even comfortable with such perceptions, more so than any nominee since Clinton, whose "New Democrats" platform in 1992 was unashamedly center-left.
