"Our Centrist Friends in Congress National Journal recently took the 2005 voting record of Members of Congress, came up with a composite liberal and conservative score, and listed those who were in the middle. Here it is. Most Centrist House Members: Republican - Rep. Jeff Flake, AZ Democrat - Rep. Bud Cramer, AL Most Centrist Senate Members: Republican - Senator Gordon Smith, OR Democrat - Senator Ben Nelson, NE I am most stunned by Jeff Flake, who I always considered to be a conservative that I like on budget issues. This makes him even more impressive in my eyes. I don't know much about Cramer, but have always been a fan of Nelson and Smith. The Senate list isn't news, but I think you will be surprised by how large the House list is. This is a little too black and white, and labeling who is and who is not a centrist may be a futile effort, but none the less, it is worth taking a look at." centristcoalition.com Complete list: nationaljournal.com
