He was a decent Governor. But he has turned pretty corporate.

My friend is as strong a defender of those who the system screws as anyone i know. I trust his judgement on politics and genuine progressive values completely. He trusts Deval, that means I do too. Duval and his wife are both close friends of both Obamas, if that tells you anything.
