Barak Obama, Harold Ford, and Evan Bayh are supposed to be part of the "new democrats" just like Bill Clinton was...but I am not going to be fooled by any of them.
We don't have an ACU rating on Obama, but I think Ford & Bayh both tip the scale at about 25 or so.
I believe Lincoln Chaffee comes in at a low 40. (I'm gonna hafta go check these again).
If Chaffee is a "centrist," then these two are leftists, although not of the class of Kerry who rates about a ZERO.
Indiana is so conservative, that Bayh MUST be careful where he steps.
