(11,619 posts)3. How do you rate Senators an a liberal scale?
While in the Senate, Hillary Clinton was rated the eleventh Most liberal on a number of lists.
Lists are all over the map because different groups do not use the same rating criteria
Google "most liberal senator" and you will get lists.
No two lists are the same.

Endorsement of Rahm = Pending doom and hold great significance
Your message resonating with republican = The real deal
You missed the memo.
