But his real base was always the young political activist crowd and if anything this may cause a groundswell of support among people who were beginning to suspect him of being just another politician. This is a risky move a lot like Kennedy's civil rights stance. I think it will pay dividends but either way he just made the race a hell of a lot more interesting while taking the focus off the economy where he's taking a beating. Smart...
I think that is exactly his intent, I'm just not convinced it will pay more than it costs him.
Like you said, risky.
