1. Barbara Boxer For President!
only one more liberal, and by a fraction of a percentage

:woohoo:

Sigh, if only she were running instead of Hillary Clinton.
To all you HRC supporters and bashers - I do not despise HRC, I just think we can do better.

3. It is not really a score. It is a % of times among a limited number of votes
where somebody voted with the other liberals. The National Journal being the one here who decides what is liberal and conservative and what is more or less liberal or conservative. It would not spend more than 2 mins on such a ranking.
