May 2015

Looking at his positions it seems he's slightly more liberal than Hillary. I realize that's not saying a whole hell of a lot, but I didn't see anything in the quick look I did that would make me go "Ugh" other than thinking Nuclear Iran is the biggest threat to world peace or something to that effect (but at the same time saying he supported the presidents deal).

Sounds to me like he's not Bernie or Elizabeth, but also not Hillary (which at this point is one of my main criteria in a candidate).
