- Thanks for that info. But does the National (0+ / 0-)
  
  Journal rate them based on their lifetime voting records in Congress, or is that the editorial board's impression of her present positions?
  I do recognize that Hillary is running her campaign to the moderates. She's trying not to be perceived as too liberal for the general election.

  - National Journal ratings (0+ / 0-)
    
    ...are from key roll call votes in 2006. Their scores from 2005 are behind a subscriber wall, so I don't know her lifetime rating. I guess the way that I look at this is that even if Hillary rated as more a liberal in the past, that means she has now tacted rightward, which I don't see as a good thing.
