I find it interesting that his "less popular ideas", which also include a focus on civil liberties, though unpopular among Establishment Republicans, are nonetheless likely to appeal to Democrats.
That said, I find it even more interesting that no one seems to have noticed that such makes him
more electable in a general election. If the Republicans were
really as bent on defeating Obama as they say they are, then it would seem to be much less likely to go so unnoticed.
