From the comments to that post:

Quote:
The important thing a year out from the primaries isn't wonkish policy particulars, it's the rhetoric. You have to prepare the battlefield so that people reject scaremongering claims.

That's actually a really good point. Of course, it doesn't explain his voting record, which shows much more moderation than his rhetoric, regardless of suggesting his own policies. Of course, this may all be a good thing, and, despite my statements above, I would have no problem supporting him in an election. He's just not my ideal candidate, and, I think, has less chance of actually winning than a white man with a "normal" name. (To be clear, that is not my preference, but my lack of faith in the American people.)
