Reply #2: DUers wil hate him because he is part of the DLC

[Ignacio Upton]

But I should also remind people how conservative Virginia is, and he has been pretty liberal relative to the state's standards. He pushed through a tax increase with the support of the Moderate Republicans in the State Legislature, and yet his popularity did not go down. he has a 75% Job Approval rating, and helped clean up the budget deficit that Virginia's last Governor Jim Gilmore created. For DLCers he's not that bad. He's pro-choice and is record is about that same as Howard Dean's in terms of fiscal responsibility.
