...running--to restore trust, clean up the political money game and use our prosperity to help the 1 in 5 children growing up poor. "This economy's so good we have no more excuses," he says. "These are the issues I'm fighting for. I don't have Air Force Two out there; I don't have the Secret Service. But I do have those of you who came out to Dunkin' Donuts on a Sunday morning to see me.
