Clinton and Obama are liberals and McCain is conservative.

It seems to me that is right on.

IMO McCain is right of center, although pretty far left of many hard-line conservatives, Hillary is left of center although right of many hard-line leftists, and Obama is far left of Hillary.

In fact, the National Journal rates his 2007 voting record in the Senate as the most liberal. Hillary ranks as 16th most liberal.

Interestingly, the National Journal also says this about Democratic voting records:

The freshmen Democratic "majority makers" are overwhelmingly moderate in National Journal's 2007 congressional vote ratings. They hope their willingness to buck liberal orthodoxy will help them keep their seats in 2008.
