quite effective, crossing Dem and Republican lines. He's a very pragmatic guy. Was willing to switch parties when he ran for Mayor as a Republican--but had been registered as a Dem. Pro choice, pro marriage equality. Opposed Roberts for Supreme Court Justice.

He's definitely an interesting candidate with government experience.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
