I would have liked to hear more about women's healthcare specifically (eg abortion rights) and am disappointed there was nothing about the prison industry, the drug war, and race issues. These are things that affect wide swaths of the population specifically (odd sentence, but I think it works), and I think it's important for him to champion those issues. Many aren't even willing to mention them, and they are of critical importance to women and minorities in this country.

Still liking what I'm hearing.
