Sounds like he's basically a Republican anyway so he should fit in well enough.

He's pro-gay marriage, which makes me think that he's fairly liberal on other social issues. His website doesn't make many of his policies clear.

Dave Freudenthal managed well enough up until 2010, so hey.

True. I guess we'll have to see.
