[Cicero]

Great article. I don't think you can reliably classify this kind of maverick as either a liberal or a conservative. Certainly, as you say, he doesn't sound like a left-winger. He'll do what he wants and concentrate his energies on getting there, and if he needs Jean Shaheen and George W. Bush to accomplish it, he'll make friends of them both.

I've heard he is already friends with Bush's father.
