1. His picture of the typical American’s economic ambitions seems a bit pinched. No basic cable? No vacation?
2. All of his invocations of “faith” are awfully vague. It shifts from faith in each other to faith in God to well, just faithiness, I guess. Which is good, because otherwise the implication that those of us who don’t sign on to the Democratic economic agenda lack “faith” would be offensive. As it is, the implication that conservatives constitute a “mountain” that need to be moved is close to the line. If a Republican used this kind of religious rhetoric, he’d get a hundred times more criticism than Kaine will.
