HIs move left is more of an attitudinal thing - his total reluctance to confront Obama - some comments on global warming - his lack of emphasis on a strong counter to the most lefitst of Obama’s moves.
And I would never vote for him in this primary. I did favor him over McCain in 08, but that’s a very low bar. To me, McCain is the worst Republican (crowded field, yes I know).
And our primary didn’t matter so I never did vote in it.
Thanks for jarring my memory. He pandered Iowans with ethanol subsidies during this campaign, IIRC.
