The survey I saw put him between center and Ted Kennedy.....closer to center than to Kennedy. Which survey was that? I've seen a dozen or so that put him far on the left. The ratings came from groups all over the political spectrum, left, right, center, and groups that are supposedly non-partisan. Its not just GOP spin because it doesn't just come from the GOP or those who support the GOP. The information comes from groups that actively are against the GOP and conservatives. Also even the GOP would have no reason to spin the information before Kerry was even announced that he would try to get the nomination. In 2002 and earlier the GOP would have had no particular reason to rate Kerry as more liberal then other liberals. I have seen that his votes in the last few years are not as hard left as his overall career but they are still consistently strongly liberal. Are you going to tell me that the ADA is a bunch of GOP flunkies? I have no idea who they are and could care less. The "Americans for Democratic Action". Americans for Democratic Action (ADA) is the nation’s oldest independent liberal political organization. Founded in 1947 by scholars and activists, including Eleanor Roosevelt, former Vice President Hubert Humphrey, labor leader Walter Reuther, economist John Kenneth Galbraith, and historian Arthur Schlesinger, Jr., ADA is dedicated to promoting social and economic justice domestically and abroad. ada-sepa.org
