3. Yeah, it's 60.

Good on Chaffee - I wish they'd put the cumulative up on the screen.

14. Nelson is 10 times worse than Lieberman

and Joe is pretty bad.

I wonder why he doesn't get picked on as much on the DU?

On the other end of the spectrum, Dick Durbin is just as progressive as Feingold & Boxer, but he doesn't really have a cheering section, here.

15. I'm guessing it's name recognition but can't say for certain.

Miracles never cease. He is trying to regain power so he can get reelected and go about his business again of shafting his party.
