ACU ratings have been bizarre in recent years
I see a lot freepers touting the Heritage foundation scores,

In those, Gibson got a 26% the worst of a NY Republican, Grimm a 32%, King a 35%, Hanna (who yes I thought was the worst of the bunch) a 40%. Reed 41%, Collins 44%, defeated rat Maffei 14%.
National Journal had Gibson rated the most liberal House Republican, they had Jim Matheson (D) a space ahead of him and John Barrow (D) a space ahead of Grimm and Hanna (right above Barrow, RINO Walter Jones).

In any case there seems to be general agreement that Gibson is not very conservative. I hope the wealthy homosexual rat whom he crushed in November is not the next Congressman. This seat was 52%-46% Obama, should be close again in 2016.
My impression is that Gibson is pro-life and pro-military but otherwise moderate-to-liberal; Hanna is virulently pro-abortion, but less liberal than Gibson on other issues.
In the Staten Island/Brooklyn NY-11 special, I don’t think that the Democrats have a chance, even if they nominate an Italian from Staten Island (why the heck has neither party run one since Fossella stepped down?). Donovan would be fine, and likely will be more conservative than Grimm, but I would prefer for Nicole Malliotakis to get the nod (it might be too late, though, since the Staten Island Machine has spoken) given that State Senator Andrew Lanza does not appear to be interested. Malliotakis is a young, attractive woman that represents both Staten Island and Brooklyn in the State Assembly, and being half Greek and half Cuban will help us with outreach; plus, if she’s the nominee instead of Donovan, the airwaves won’t be saturated with ads depicting Democrats holding their necks and saying “I can’t breathe,” since, unlike Donovan, Malliotakis was not the prosecutor that failed to obtain an indictment against the cops in the Garner case.
