 No, he's absolutely the least specific and he specifically tells his
callers not to
get into policy details when they solicit votes.  Refer them to the
web site where there is enough to satisfy any political geek is what
the trainees were told.
Well I looked. It isn't at all illuminating.
I think this lack of specifity as a political tactic should be
rejected by voters on principle.  We need leaders who will their
positions and principles up for a vote.
Not their good looks and vague speeches.
