I've never doubted he favors a liberal agenda. I doubt that anyone would mistake him for a conservative, or even a moderate leaning conservative, or conservative leaning moderate. But he could be a liberal leaning moderate, or a moderate leaning liberal.

Confused? That's because those labels don't tell you much. More often they are used to put someone in a pigeon hole, rather than discuss what their view is on any particular issue(s).

I think that's our biggest problem right now, stressing how we are different, ignoring what we have in common, which means no dialog.
