69. As you consider how liberal or moderate Obama is
it is worth checking on voting records. I've been doing that a bit. On this site, you can find links to Obama's strong liberal rating not only by the suspect National Journal but also by the League of Conservation Voters, the Genocide Intervention Network, Planned Parenthood, and several labor groups. The sexy-sounding conclusion that he is a "moderate/conservative" may not be consistent with the voting records as assessed by several of these groups. I think it's reassuring to see his support for liberal and progressive values as the several groups observe.

Take a look and see what you think if you like - I'd be interested in how this information strikes you.
