Kate O'Beirne, Washington Editor of National Review, on the Laura Ingraham show (quote is not exact):
"We have a Socialist in the Senate, Bernie Sanders (I - VT), and Obama's voting record is more liberal than his."
"The ratings system...assigns 'composite' scores, an average of the members' issue-based scores. In 2007, Obama's composite liberal score of 95.5 was the highest in the Senate. Rounding out the top five most liberal senators last year were Sens. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., with a composite liberal score of 94.3; Joseph Biden, D-Del., with a 94.2; Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., with a 93.7; and Robert Menendez, D-N.J., with a 92.8."
The Democrats tried putting up their most liberal senator for president before, back in 2004, with John Kerry. It didn't work. Don't let it work this time...
