Hoff's move to the Democratic center

Has former Governor Philip Hoff become a more centrist Democrat than he was as a young Governor in the 1960's? That's what his endorsement of New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson for the 2008 presidential nomination suggests.

When Hoff ousted Republican Governor Ray Keyser in 1962 (by 1,348 votes), the 38-years-old one-term State Representative became Vermont's first Democratic Governor since before the Civil War.
