Rating a candidate's "Democraticness"
Is there a website that rates/handicaps our candidates on their issue positions? If not, it might an interesting concept to build a website around and provide a great voter guide/resource to help voters in selecting candidates in our primary. I'd think the national office candidates could and should be evaluated on national issues, state/local candidates on state/local issues.

Comments?

3. Thanks.....I figured there was something like this already, but
didn' know the site.

What I'm looking for is something a little different....something that would guage the candidates before they are elected and an easy way for the voter to differentiate between candidates. The ADA format would be a good presentation method, though.

4. Well looky here!
It appears that Joe Lieberman voted with the ADA 14 out of 14 times.

Damn that Republican fifth columnist!
