Who is Richard Blumenthal?

According to Wiki, he was an aide to senators Daniel P. Moynihan and Abraham A. Ribicoff. I couldn't gleam too much else from Wikipedia.

That piece helped; although, it kind of portrayed him as media-hungry. I was hoping to find out more information as to his policy views; and not just taking politically popular moves against tobacco companies. I wonder how liberal he is and who in the Senate he'd be comparable to?
