Federalist social conservative (the latter part not being extreme, and certainly not being opposed to civil unions if the G is going to endorse marriage at all). Heck, from Kerry's statements on gay marriage, he might even qualify as one. Certainly the Federalist part, and unclear about the social conservative. I feel like I should send him a welcome letter but I fear someone made him go to the one meeting and he's not coming to any others.
And then from the secession talk today, it sounds like some lefties would realize the benefits of Federalism if they would look into it. Not sure, but I think Sebby might not have had any objection to it after it was discussed here vis a vis abortion. On that note, someone on Dennis Miller tonight unequivocally that Roe will be overturned in the next 4 years, and abortion will be decided by the states. The other guests, including Ben Stein, disagreed, but looked like they wanted to strangle the guy for making the comment publicly.
Speaking of secession, there were some pretty easy jokes in Virginia today due to a ballot initiative for "Succession" that related to the chain of succession should leaders die. Something about how all the central and Southern Virginians had visions of vindication after 140 years.
