He ran a smart race. 10 years ago he probably would have ran as a Republican. These days if you are a moderate Republican you have to run as a Democrat. :P

He probably really is more moderate or conservative than a typical Democrat/Liberal/Progressive from someplace like Seattle.

Fun thing, a close family friend went to high school with Lamb- Central Catholic, where all the good Catholic families send their boys in Pittsburgh. :) I definitely want to ask him what Lamb was like next time we cross paths!
