This is Lincoln Chaffee and Olympia Snowe to demonstrate what it appears like to compare a liberal pubbie with a conservative one. Frist had a 100 this year. Chaffee had a 44 and Snowe a 64.

I have perused through some of the states also and noted some unusual cases as well. For instance, look at the record of one of our Texas Democrat Congressional Reps., Ralph Hall.

Twenty-one years of service as a Democrat with a lifetime ACU rating of 83 !

A lifetime rating of 27, most of Jeffords 17 years were spent as a Republican, I believe.
