He's dangerous.

I hope you're right about the teabaggers not liking him & that being enough for him not to win nomination.

He'll appeal to independents because he talks reasonably. However his actions aren't, other than accepting medicare expansion for the state. He also has the local press in his pocket.

I really think he may end up being our next president. It's NOT a good feeling. He is anti-union, anti-teachers, anti-environment, anti-anything that is progressive.
