Obama, Edwards, Clinton, Kucinich all EXCELLENT on race, according to leading civil rights coalition
The Leadership Conference on Civil Rights - the country's leading civil rights coalition - scores all Senators and Members of Congress on their votes. Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama and Dennis Kucinich all received top scores on their most recent scorecards.

Obama and Kucinich scored 100%. Clinton scored 92% (she voted for the Real ID Act, which LCCR opposed). According to LCCR, any score above 90% is excellent.

Former Senator John Edwards did not receive a score. However, he consistently receive 100% scores from LCCR when he was in the Senate.

On the other hand, John McCain scored a 22% rating.

So, can we PLEASE stop with the "My candidate's great on race and yours isn't" threads?
