And he says Olson is a REAL right winger. He's just libertarian on this issue. He has not changed his stance on anything else, per this person (related to his current wife or former wife, I forget. Olson's been married more than once). So, he's doing what appears to be something very honorable, and deserves kudos for doing it and doing it well, but he's NOT a liberal by any stretch.
