Reply #81: I record Senator votes to gague "progressiveness"...

[Zodiak]

and Obama is 10% more of a progressive Democrat (as I define it) than Hillary is. He votes with the Republicans about 40% of the time, and she does about 50% of the time (on the issues I track...29 from the 109th Congress).

So there is a difference between the two on voting record...at least from my perspective.

Then there are the issues that did not come up in the 109th, like the war (other than appropriations). That is another difference.

Lastly, another big difference is that Hillary has embraced the DLC and all of the puppet strings that come along with it, while Obama was courted by the DLC and rejected them.

Still, I would vote for either if they got the nomination.
