I noticed he had the flag pin going (too late in the game to fuck with that stuff), and he got all your major demographics and ethnicities in there.  <\/p>\n<p>I could live without his pushing &#8216;clean coal&#8217; all the time, personally.  But, I&#8217;m willing to overlook that for the time being, as well as the fact that his healthcare plan doesn&#8217;t call for a single-payer solution.

I&#8217;d have had each one highlight a single issue\/problem, and then have him come out and say how he was going to fix it.  But he certainly didn&#8217;t hurt himself.  Whether it will bring over any &#8216;undecided&#8217; voters or not, I don&#8217;t know.  <\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s hard for me to tell.
