Hillary was the 11th most liberal member of the Senate
This was posted last year on Daily Kos, but still relevant--for such a conservative, Hillary Clinton sure had a pretty liberal voting record during her years in the Senate.
As it turns out, with a first-dimension score of -0.391 based upon her entire service in Congress, Hillary Clinton was the 11th most liberal member of the Senate in each of the 107th, 108th, 109th, and 110th Congresses. That places her slightly to the left of Pat Leahy (-0.386), Barbara Mikulski (-0.385) and Dick Durbin (-0.385); clearly to the left of Joe Biden (-0.331) and Harry Reid (-0.289); and well to the left of moderate Democrats like Jon Tester (-0.230), Blanche Lincoln (-0.173), and Claire McCaskill (-0.154).
Some more numbers from the 110th Congress, to further help put things in perspective:

Why she was only four notches below liberal icon Russ Feingold--and yet she has to defend herself as a progressive?
