in 2006, Obama ranked 10th most liberal senator; Clinton 23rd. Feingold 15th

..this all by a ranking put together by the National Journal.


Obama is a liberal. He is wooing independents becuase without them he can't win in the general.

"In the following list, 99 senators^ are assigned liberal scores for their roll-call votes on key economic, social and foreign policy issues during 2006. The scores on each scale are given as percentiles. The composite score measures votes across all three issue areas."

2. Oh great, now we're citing the rag that established the notion of

'liberal media bias' (aka vast left wing media conspiracy) to make a point.

I think Russ might beg to differ - and, he'd be correct.

3. That's one of the things I really like about Obama. He is a progressive who appeals to moderates and

some conservatives.

5. I don't trust the national journal's random selection of votes

As I recall they rated Kerry the most liberal Senator based on 2003 when he showed up for like 2 votes.
