He is not an "old school liberal", which should be obvious from this paragraph alone:

Except for a brief respite in the ‘90s, for most of my adult life American politics has been stuck in the grip of two competing and unsatisfactory theories. The first, which I thought we’d disproved in the ‘80s, was the conservative notion that America should ask the least of those with the most. That idea was so far wrong, it took our country a decade to recover, and yet our leaders are making the same mistake again, this time with feeling. The second theory, which I thought we’d banished in the last decade, was the notion among some in my party that we could spend our way out of every problem. It didn’t work, yet some in my party want to bring it back.

He's a good man, and my brand of 'centrist democrat', and I love what he has to say about corporate responsibility and values.
I won't vote for him for President, but I would very much like to see him on the democratic ticket in the Vice slot.
