He's on Rachel Maddow's show right now - very eloquent about marriage equality. I think he has a real future in politics.

(NOT moving to Jersey to vote for him as Governor, tho; will encourage daughter and son-in-law to do that!)

I am getting tired of the cheerleading for this kind of "progressive" politician. He is not the friend of teachers.
