POLITICS: The Liberalest Senator
The nonpartisan National Journal has released its rankings for 2003, and John Kerry (when he bothered to vote, that is) was rated the most liberal member of the U.S. Senate. That's gonna leave a mark. Being #1 makes it real easy for Bush's team to write the campaign commercial . . .
I'm a little surprised that hasn't gotten more coverage. Seems like a pretty big deal.
FYI - you can can check out the front page of the National Journal site here:

I wanted to actually read the listings and criteria, but it seems to require a subscription.
