I missed the part you're talking about. I did see the part about the schools, which has been criticized, and I don't see what else he could say. 'We're a poor state but we're making a lot of progress.' The answer was fine. He balanced the budget and put more money in schools, etc. That's what an awful lot of America wants to hear. Maybe that's the problem, people are judging him based on how much he sounds like Dennis Kucinich. I don't know. I think calling this a bomb is a real stretch, and many of those doing it are just engaging in more candidate bashing.
