Why I'm not all that much of a fan of O'Malley either, despite his rhetoric of late.

it should be obvious. By the way, most of the sites that grade how liberal or conservative a pol is on their records, aren't much better. They don't tell us, for example, why someone may have voted against a piece of legislation-like a poison pill. They don't tell us what legislation or amendments a politician may have introduced. They are selective about which votes are included, and on and on.

really, it's pathetic that anyone thinks this shit is an accurate reflection of... anything.

please THINK.
