Obama: Liberals grounded in reason

Well, he's lost my vote.

As the article says

“How you come across is more important than how you vote,” Cook said. “If voters perceive you as moderate, then your voting record isn’t terribly relevant. Perception is more important than reality.”

Just like Deval Patrick. Methinks it's the new (old) strategy for the Dems: Just sound nice, politics be damned!
