Reply #63: not the same

since Elizabeth's cancer recurrence. Here's what I suspect-

He was a centrist and calculating politician, but in his core is that guy "raised by a dad that worked in the mill." His wife has always impressed me, and clearly has heartfelt convictions about the importance and opportunities to affect change for the better from the WH. John might be in it now as much for her as for him. I think he is sincere in his return to a progressive core, and feels more allied to her because of it. Out of political necessity and ego that must overwhelm nearly anyone willing to think they can be a Senator or President, he cared less about his core values than political calculation shile in the Senate and the 2004 campaign.

Call me naive, idealist, or whatever, but I think he is sticking with what he, and she, really believe in this campaign (since her medical news).

Any husband worth a damn that truly loves his wife and shares her convictions would do the same. I think he is that guy now.
