I've never liked him, not because he's a moderate, but because he's been a liberal all along but only ran as a Republican for political expediency. And Tab, I don't know how much more damage a filibuster-proof majority could inflict: Obama's already multiplied the federal deficit to such an extent that makes the Iraq War look like a drop in the bucket. In 2012, my primary consideration as I mull over the candidates will be who is truly committed to balancing the budget. So far, the only candidate I see with the potential to fulfill that requirement is Mark Sanford, but a lot can change between now and then. I'll vote Democrat if it means balancing the budget, but I'm pretty sure no Democrats are actually concerned with that, it's just not in their blood. Alas.
