So you're saying that Dennis Kucinich isn't even among the Top 100 most liberal people in the House because you've heard from other people in his district that they don't like him? Do you have an actual list that might rank the House members in some way as to support your claim? I'll take Political Compass, I don't care. I'd just like some actual proof.

Also, Kucinich was hated when he was a mayor too. But that's an entirely different matter.

His voting record in 2008 was the 187th most liberal according to the National Journal. Their more recent vote ratings are behind a paywall, but if anything he has probably moved down and not up over the past couple of years.

Thanks for this site! It's extremely informative. I wish they'd update it with 2010/current candidates.

I was really surprised by that site too. I never expected Ron Paul to be so liberal, at least compared to other Republicans (and vice versa for Kucinich).
