I've had some contacts with him.
He's basically centrist, or maybe several clicks left of center, I would say
open-minded and not a stereotypic Chicago-type. I blasted him for rehashing
some cliches about entitlements and budget deficits and he took it in good
humor. (Though apparently it didn't make enough of an impression to stop Obama
from talking about the Social Security "crisis.")
