"His voting record in IL was extreme,"

Not really. Because he isn't an ideologue, you can cherry pick the votes to "prove" almost any orientation.

"but it was also knee-deep in "present" votes to avoid committing himself politically."

It depends on what you mean by this. The ability to vote 'present' is just a way to get political cover. It is equivalent to a 'no' in function.

" There is simply no way to argue the guy isn't an extremist liberal. The argument is just ridiculous on its face."

Sure there is. But people like you have put a lot of effort into claiming that reality is different than it really is. That is what is ridiculous...
