Reply #7: Again, my point wasn't to try to define what he *really* is. [View All]

My point is that this is still up for grabs--even at DU. We don't really know how to respond. My point isn't to argue whether or not he's a pragmatist, a centrist, a progressive (wink wink), doing a good-cop/bad-cop thing, etc. My point is that because he's young, new to the Senate, etc., we have no real patterns to go on. I've read his bio., and I have my own impressions of what his core beliefs are. But, again, that's not the point of my post.

So maybe Clinton and the right were somewhat correct: he's an unknown commodity. I think the reaction (perhaps even over-reaction) to FISA, Oil, gay marriage, Clark's statement on McCain, etc. is somewhat expected.
