Just for his position on mj, he'd pick up a lot of young voters. They'll look past much of anything else he says as status quo and likely similar to what Obama did, does, or will do, with very few exceptions, is my worry.

I've listened to youngers, since I'm a mmj user, about RP, and they think he's great. Try to tell them that he's not the same RP of a few years ago with many of his planks, point to his son and his goofiness, doesn't seem to matter. They don't care, they want MJ legalized, they'll worry about all the rest later.
