The fact that he has a big mouth and is bombastic, has endeared him to the RW. However, he has read the numbers and knows President Obama will be in the White House another 4 years. He plays nice when it's to his benefit. I am somewhat surprised he has been so effusive in his praise of Pres. Obama, but then again, he is running for re-election in a blue state in 2 years.
