In terms of stances on polices and issues, how would you describe him?
Something of a populist urban conservative. Strongly pro-life, pro-Israel, and generally pro-WOT. A definite Law-and-Order type. Also, one of the few Republicans on friendly terms with organized labor. Big supporter of Ireland, and somewhat friendly with the IRA (though that’s not a big issue since the peace accord there). Annoyed conservatives by opposing impeachment in 1998, though that’s regarded as old news by most of them now.
