What I (and the Times article) suggest is that he's liberal when it is helpful for him to be liberal, and moderate when it's most expedient for him to be moderate. <BR/><BR/>So they're right - at one point, he was pretty liberal. But they're wrong, too - that's not what he is now, and the Times article traces that transformation.Annahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07701924315897238428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034285474210314097.post-57755589507746070872008-05-12T08:14:00.000-05:002008-05-12T08:14:00.000-05:00Just to be clear, Ted, DakotaWomen is a group blog, not a person.
