and...

2. Pot smokers,whom you'd expect would be the most enthusiastic supporters of such a postion, are either too stoned, too disenfranchised, or to apathetic to actually get up and vote,

OR, they're smart enough to understand that NO president could ever secure the legalization of marijuana in the US by himself -- until MANY OTHER THINGS changed first.
That about summarizes it perfectly. Besides, even if he were inclined toward legalization it's pretty late to start trying to get that message out there. He would be accused of last minute desparation grabbing.
