Loose Democracy

Most liberal with the facts?

The Republicans continue to repeat that Edwards is the 4th most liberal Senator. This is, however, based on 40 of his votes in 2003. His average "liberal score" over the five years he's been in office is 75.7%. In fact, Richard Cohen writes: "From 1999 to 2002, Edwards had ranked among the more conservative Democratic senators. In 2002, only 11 of the 50 Senate Democrats voted more conservatively." (More info here.)

In general, I like the fourth most liberal senator more than whoever the fifth is, but I also like to see this coming from a national party.

I love your article and I installed your hack. Thank you very much for this. I did notice that you have if statements and only if statements. The hack whould not install properly in my header until I added a if statement. Then, all was very cool. I am installing this on every messageboard I control which is a sizable number. Again, thank you.
