72. I'm curious why people are surprised by this.

I mean, candidate Obama ran to the right of both Hillary and Edwards, criticizing everything from trial lawyers to publicly optioned health care -- and his criticisms were VICIOUS. His primary campaign promoted both sexism and homophobia. I held my nose and voted for him on election day, but I voted for him more because of Biden (and Palin's lunacy, and McCain's abortion record). I have to say, his presidency, while conservative, has been less right-wing than he led us to expect.
