I don't know what "liberal" means to you. Social liberal? Fiscal liberal? What are you talking about? The initial discussion was about raising taxes (and for the record, I'd agree with Bilmore's assessment of Kerry's record on taxes), not fiscal responsibility, which in my mind are two entirely different yet related things.
Additionally, I don't think anyone can assess in a vacuum whether or not someone will be likely to raise taxes. Certainly Bush I ran on the idea that it wasn't going to happen, and that certainly came back to bite him in the ass.
