177. That is debatable. I can understand where the originations of that is coming from based on his

pre-08 run, but from everything I saw in the newest run for the white house, he seemed truly to be a populist candidate who 'got it' and that's why he performed so clearly from Sen's Obama & Clinton in the debates, they were cautious 'politicians', he was speaking for the people and why he went from 12-14% to 18-20% before dropping out for a myriad of reasons - I never thought Obama a truly progressive type - and he certainly doesn't prove to be anything near one as of yet, things could change, but he's pretty much in the back pocket of the corporations on these big deals - I'd like to know his real thoughts on what he's doing, I'm thinking he might be thinking that if he brings them all in, or gets them to agree to contracts with the govt, that they can control them that way... not so sure that's gonna work. Hope I'm incredibly wrong!!!
