for the sake of brevity, i will condense my response in the form of a very simple equation (plus a tiny bit after):

hope > fear

it's really as simple as that to me.  whatever moral stance i have, whatever fiscal policies i support, and whatever religious agendas i may back, it all falls second to the larger point of "do i want hope and inspiration, or do i want fear and imperialism?"  i, for one, believe that the president has a greater power, beyond getting certain bills passed and others killed; i believe that a president can inspire a country.  honestly, when was the last time we could say that??

and i would agree, it is largely a pep-rally, but that's what it's designed for.  it's supposed to get people charged up and passionate about the process, to get them to tell their friends to vote for so-and-so.  you're supposed to showcase your best players and tell everyone why you're going to kick the other teams asses.

anyway, i don't know, maybe i just watched too much west wing, and actually belive that government can aspire to be of and for the people.
