The Socialist

TNR has a good article debunking the rating system over at National Journal that rated Obama as the "most liberal" Senator (and didn't even rank McCain b/c he missed too many votes). Essentially, an accurate analysis puts Obama in the liberal wing - but definitely not the most liberal.

Also, under the NJ's current standards (where they disqualify you if you don't make 1/2 the votes) - Kerry wouldn't have been named "most liberal" in '04 either!
