1. He has made some fairly elementary mistakes that play into the Republican strategy of painting him as a weak rookie. Whining about the "cone of silence" ?? Dude, just get your own answers straight.

2. Stupid pandering bs (everybody does it, but it doesn't mean I like it) like "windfall taxes" on oil companies. Instead of demonizing Exxon Mobil and the like, I wonder what could happen if a candidate who is serious about alternatives sat down with the CEOs of big bad oil to hammer out some sort of joint public-private effort to develop those alternatives (thus ensuring Exxon, et al. a share in the profits of those new industries). Just a thought, perhaps unworkable.

I'll offer a third: I do worry a bit about protectionism. There's been some rhetoric about NAFTA and such that concerns me.
