If you view politics with an eye toward individual policies and stances rather than taking a "straight" Republican or Democratic line, The National Journal has published it's review of 2006 congressional voting.
It's an interesting read, even if you DO vote a straight party ticket.
"The ratings rank lawmakers on how they vote relative to each other on a conservative-to-liberal scale in both the Senate and the House. The scores are based on the members' votes in three areas: economic issues, social issues, and foreign policy."

That's a cool thing. My girl, Boxer is #2 on the Liberal Scale! And our congressman is in the 90% range, too. Sometimes living in a blue world is good.
Thanks for sharing that link! I intend to look into it tonight when I have a little time.
Interesting link. Meant to say that earlier, but got sidetracked over there checking things out!
