Hillary's senate voting record leaves a lot to be desired
I've been meaning to check a list for a while. I checked out National Review's liberal/conservative rankings from 2006 and was stunned. Look where HRC stands! Robert Byrd is more liberal than she! Evan Evan Bayh!

6. not exactly
Hillary actually bothered to show up to vote many of the times Obama could not be bothered to serve his state and vote on important measures.

4. Since joining the Senate, has Obama ever voted different than Clinton on an Iraq War bill?
I know Iraq doesn't mean much to Democrats anymore, but I still think it's important.

5. She has a progressive Senate voting record of 97% -- how awful
VERY close to Senator Obama's, although hers is a little higher -- I believe his is 95%.
