From GovExec.com:
Judging by National Journal's congressional vote ratings, however, Kerry and Edwards aren't all that different, at least not when it comes to how they voted on key issues before the Senate last year. The results of the vote ratings show that Kerry was the most liberal senator in 2003, with a composite liberal score of 96.5. But Edwards wasn't far behind: He had a 2003 composite liberal score of 94.5, making him the fourth-most-liberal senator.

As the Boston Herald proclaimed this ticket is LEFT OF TED "CHAPPAQUIDDICK" KENNEDY. This should be a very interesting couple of months of campaigning...Mark's Remarks
These guys may hate each other, but they are made for each other. They represent some of the most liberal voting records in history. They have a combined Left rating that is even higher than Mondale/Ferraro of 1984. They have higher ratings than a Kennedy/Clinton ticket as far as leaning to the Left. And both of them are not dependable in their jobs--both have missed an inordinate amount of time from their jobs chosen by the people of their states to represent them. If they shirk this responsibility for power grabbing, who knows what other responsibilities (like protecting the Constitution, America's citizens, etc.) they will shirk for their own gains?
