^ Obama smokes (or he did until recently) so I imagine that would be a risk factor.

^^I know TNR has an ideological bent, but even if they are partial to the left they can point out why that particular ranking scale is not accurate. I know Obama is a liberal. I believe he has asserted as much. I simply find it asinine when conservatives say Obama was THE most liberal senator. It simply is not true. You may say he is an ardent liberal, but he is not THE most liberal.

 

Gee thanks for the permission.  The point is that we have two reports and your word that one is more thorough than the other.  We can debate what conclusion to draw from this all-day long but the difference in result isn't worth the hubub you're putting up to make the point.

Arguing over whether he is "the most liberal" or "almost the most liberal" is just pointless.  They mean practically the same thing.  It's the difference between 0.999..... and 1.
