Labor Secretary Tom Perez was apparently too liberal for Senator Susan Collins (R-Maine) [View all]
She didn't vote to confirm him.
Susan Collins generally voted to confirm Obama's nominees, as did Olympia Snowe. Even the ones who most Republicans opposed.
If Perez was unacceptable to Collins...how much of a corporatist can he be?
It is a strange world we live in when Tom Perez is not considered a progressive.
Then again, it was also a strange world when Hillary Clinton's candidacy became the equivalent of Joe Lieberman winning our party's nomination.
