UGA, I'm not willing to say he'll "get stuff done," but I do think he has a pretty concrete agenda. I don't think he spouts fluff because there is nothing below the surface, I think he does that because what is below the surface isn't mainstream, easily-consumable liberalism. I think he is aligned with the fringe extreme-left most often represented in the realm of academia.
Maybe I'm wrong, and he's a typical opportunist who won't stray too far, like Hillary. But I certainly have my doubts. If he's elected, to start, I expect radical increases in taxation, new gun control legislation, increased deference to foreign authority, and jurists who are very flexible with constitutional interpretation. There is little doubt that he'll promote larger government and more socialistic economic policy. The only questions are how significant the shifts will be, and whether he'll be successful.
Unfortunately, Democrats will likely have large majorities in both houses, and thus I find it more important than ever to keep them from having a complete grip on both Congress and the Exec.
