In truth, he is just another phony moderate, distinguishable from Evan Bayh, Mark Warner, etc, only by his racial makeup. But the Democrats and media have anointed him as the second coming, and as with Hillary, will do all in their power to hide his true leftwing stripes, and instead present him as a paragon of moderation and centrism.
Fortunately there is a new era of scrutiny, thanks largely to the internet, that stifles their ability to move to the right at election time and legislate as a pure leftist when elected.
This dood had better *not* get between Hillary and the Brass Ring (her precious).
