Reply #67: Progressive Action Score: 47 Right Wing Index Score: 0 [View All]

Biden's scores 47

A score of 47 means that Sen. Biden has acted to support 47% of a slate of progressive policies in the 110th Congress.

that's middle of the road, not a bag of hammers, but it's a funny line!

A score of 0 means that Senator Biden has acted to support 0% of a slate of conservative, wrongheaded policies in the 110th Congress.

Liberals are scared that Biden is too moderate, or even right wing, especially on civil liberties cases. His issue ratings say otherwise: Biden has a 92% approval rating from the ACLU from 2005-2006
And, statistically speaking, more than 82% of Americans don't like extremes of either party. In other words, most Americans would classify themselves as centrist or at least centrist-oriented. Biden appeals to that independent-minded, anti-extremist constituency, which I think is his main attraction, giving him the most bipartisan appeal.
