Is a fellow SSJ'er a "closet-leftie"?

This person seems to know all the Democratic-leaning blogs and news sites (I refuse to use the the term "liberal" like all the right-wing radio hosts use). He obviously reads them (and I'm sure will say he does so just to see what they are saying). And, he used to be a true blue Democrat. One wonders if this whole move to the right is just "going with the flow"- going with the mainstream. I think that deep down, he still is one of "us", but due to peer and profession pressures, he is hiding it. Enquiring minds want ot know....
