He thinks that he would vote for Barack Obama if he had the chance. Of course, he doesn't - yet - because he's from Michigan. Their Democrat primary didn't count.
The thing that's so interesting about Mr. Moore's comments is that they reflect a trend which sees a growing number of left-wing voices becoming more and more angry at the Clintons.
The Clintons, for their part, have become increasingly angry at the 'media' and its treatment of Hillary's campaign.
What's the lesson?
There are many, but what struck me is the idea that a wing of the Democrat party is feeling the full force of the media/pop/liberal/hype machine that has plagued conservatism for years. The Clintons haven't changed, the rules have. Therefore, they are now 'divisive'.
Perhaps the 'divisiveness' present in modern politics is really the result of a mass media/popular culture/liberal trending pull that has redefined the rules in society. There are many who haven't changed a bit, and neither has policy or party platform. Yet, society's rules have outflanked them, and so they are wrong.
Because conservatives stand for values - and stand against the pull - they are divisive, a thorn, because they won't go where everyone else is going. However, it sometimes seems that not everyone is going there, only the loudest and most popular.
So, while NBC reminds us to turn off our heating and lights in the winter to save polar bears from drowning in spring, some of us resignedly say good riddance. Meanwhile, the polar bears are doing just fine.
