There's also some questionable uses of liberal and conservative. The first economic vote is:
Quote:
|
Establish a Senate Office of Public Integrity to handle ethics complaints against senators. January 18. (27-71) C-1
|
Clinton voted no, the conservative position, and Obama voted yea.
As I further looked at the votes the difference between Hillary, the 16th most liberal and Obama comes down to two votes where they voted opposite each other(Hillary the conservative position) and two votes where Hillary voted the conservative position and Obama didn't vote. I'd say the real story is that Hillary and Obama are voted almost identically.
