I would suggest he became "pragmatic", as you say, on Election Night 2010.
Since his career is so brief and berift of footprints, it's hard to conclude what his bedrock principles are. Words are meaningless,
especially when campaigning. The agenda for the last 2 years I submit was much more a product of the Congress than the White House.
