What weaknesses/liabilities in YOUR candidate do you worry about in a general election?

This thread is for people who have picked a candidate.

Say your candidate is nominated by the party. What weakness or vulnerability do you worry will be exploited by the Republic candidate? What are your candidate's soft spots in a general election?

Edwards: His accepting matching funds (and with it, the spending caps) could leave him cash-strapped until the convention. I also worry about reputational baggage from his having been a personal injury lawyer.

OK, let's hear from you. This will be a good exercise, and allow us to speak frankly about our own candidate's weaknesses.

4. I'm kicking this because people need to be honest and own up to their candidate's shortcomings

8. He's 5' 7", looks like a gnome, has a midwest twang and doesn't have newsreader hair...

...plus his political positions are the polar opposite of those espoused by the official, corporate-media-approved DLC candidates.

And worst of all, his wife has actual brains and makes Laura Bush look like the sexless android she must be to share a bed with the stupidest and most bloody minded occupant of the white house in the history of the republic.

Other than that, he's a shoe-in.
