You also strike me as politically savvy enough to know that no politician who wants to definitely keep his seat in Congress, much less run for President, can "vote against funding the military" in "a time of war". The GOP would spin that as abandoning the troops, and the major hit-meme out on Obama the whole time has been that his "inexperience" will lead to bad judgment.
I feel that he's the candidate out of the two of them least likely to compromise, triangulate, and play DLC-style "centrist" games; as well as the one most like to move left after he's elected, rather than right. (Just based on the Clinton's records.)
