2008 Presidential Scores

[Ben.]

I'm interested in how John Edwards is vastly more liberal than Hillary..

Hillary has first all attended far more votes on the senate floor than Edwards, what is more during his campaign for the nomination (from 2001 onwards IMHO) the votes Edwards did attended tended be ones where he positioned himself so as to appeal to the democratic base by voting the liberal line this skewed his result greatly on the old political spectrum grid

That said Hillary is far more hawkish than Edwards what is more she is carving out a more moderate profile on a raft of issues… something Edwards never had the thought to do, for the most part Edwards coasted in the senate with no clear ideological position on the key issues.

You're still here!  I glad to see you're still around.  Just so you know I think you are one of the best people this forum as ever, or will ever see (along with Al and Nym) and I want to thank you for what you have done for me in the past.

Good to hear from you again Tweed
