He's lived in MA since the 70's, except for the Olympics bit, and not the typical variety pol in MA, that's for sure. He seems a strong candidate, but I think there is some squishiness about abortion with him.
I may be mistaken, but I thought that this was one of the issues where he thought the fed'l gov't should not interfere. That would be fine with me. I'm anti-abortion, but I am also anti-gov't regulation.
