I've had a look at Kaptur's ratings by various interest groups as listed at Project Vote Smart. While she is of course a liberal, she is less liberal than Pelosi.

For those interested, have a look at:

Enter the name Kaptur, then go to Interest Groups.

Kaptur would be a much better choice for the Dems. Coming from a very Republican heartland state, she has a far more moderate constituency than Pelosi. She would not be part of a socalist echo chamber of California extremists. If she went too liberal as Minority Leader, she would be in danger of losing her own House seat. She is also from a middle class background and not a rich, limousine liberal like Pelosi. She is Catholic as well (although pro-abort, but not screamingly so as is Pelosi.)

Thanks so much for posting the URL of Vote Smart. I have been trying to remember the url for weeks now. A very good site that I lost the URL of...thanks again.
