Of course politics are regional as well so that while W might be middle of the
road in Texas, he's much farther right in comparison with other politicos in
California and he'd probably be labeled extremist in some European countries
(not to mention U.S. College campuses 8^) ). From my perspective he is well
right of center.
More important to me is my perception that he's an oil corporation toady; that
his loyalties aren't quite where they should be. I think it's very fortunate
that the Legislative branch is so evenly split and that he maneuvered himself
into office in such an unconvincing manner. It gives us a real chance of
thwarting his agenda (which isn't the same as his list of campaign promises,
IMO).
