I actually think Jean is doing a decent job of playing both sides -- trying to get the warm fuzzy feelings from the Reagan Dems and Moderates while not inciting hatred and fury from his loyal lefties.
Agreed. At this point of campaigning, both sides are trying to appeal to the masses, so you'll see lot's of "moderate" messages out from both camps, unlike the primaries, where candidates only have to appeal directly to their particular party, hence the messages were much more far-left for the dems (remember Dean anyone?), or far-right for the GOP (which we didn't get to hear since only one candidate was running) you get to hear.
At this point, the undecideds (independants, etc....) are the primary audience. The core is already locked up for both, so the remnants are now the target (I've heard them referred to as "table scraps" before....LOL....the core from each side doesn't have much respect for those who don't have party loyalty).
