Obama would lose to either McCain or Romney. He looks good in the polls today because the media have dutifully avoided reporting his real record (http://www.gop.com/news/NewsRead.aspx?Guid=ac0d51ff-b262-47ef-8561-da0c66992ecb).


Today, The National Journal Rated Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) "The Most Liberal Senator In 2007":

"Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., Was The Most Liberal Senator In 2007, According To National Journal's 27th Annual Vote Ratings." (Brian Friel, Richard E. Cohen and Kirk Victor, "Obama: Most Liberal Senator In 2007," National Journal, 1/31/07)

"The Insurgent Presidential Candidate Shifted Further To The Left Last Year In The Run-Up To The Primaries, After Ranking As The 16th- And 10th-Most-Liberal During His First Two Years In The Senate." (Brian Friel, Richard E. Cohen and Kirk Victor, "Obama: Most Liberal Senator In 2007," National Journal, 1/31/07)

Clinton was the 16th most liberal senator in 2007. She was 32nd in 2006. Don't expect Clinton to raise this issue in the debat tonight. It is an issue of electability in the general election.

Kind of funny when Clinton says he's a bad person for having liked Reagan and that he's a bad person because he's willing to work with Republicans.

I think it's noteworthy to see that McCain didn't show up for enough votes to be actually counted.

She certainly does. And we're all petrified. She's got the dumbfuck "I'm falling for it" vote.
