He follows the old Republican line step by step, and is big on anti-abortion/right to life, anti-gay, etc. Bad enough his fiscal conservatism (the type that spends heavily on military and nothing on safety net spending), but far, far right social conservative. Pro 1% too.

You will quickly grow to despise him.

He also speaks relatively softly and can sound so warm and fuzzy. He also speaks with the republican "certitude" that everything he says is direct from Gawd.

and an obvious attempt to shore up support with religious nutters.

People in Indiana will be jubilant, they'll be getting him out of the state at least until November.
