No, you misread what I wrote. To get elected, he ran as a fiscal conservative, and a social liberal...and within a year of winning the election, he was governing as a fiscal and social conservative. That comes from a self-described liberal Democrat who worked in Cellucci’s campaign.

The Democrats felt that they were duped in ‘02, so they voted for a a dyed-in-the-wool liberal Democrat in 2006.

I didn't misread what you wrote. I've been closely following the man for 13 years and I'm a former supporter, but please don't try to tell me something he never was. He was a political opportunist of the highest order and a failed Governor, period. The sheer audacity of someone with his record of failure to think he can run for President as a Republican pretending to be a Conservative absolutely defies description. I expect that kind of arrogance and megalomania from Democrats. Of course, given that he did their dirty work for them, that's exactly what he is. Just like his hero, Slick Willie Weld.
