At this kind of level, where would Calvin Coolidge fit?
Would he be a moderate, or a flaming liberal from the Northeast Kingdom?

1. A stern strikebreaker, Cool Cal would be called a moderate by our modern gentlemen of the press

but as a Solomonic lawgiver who lowered the working week for child laborers from 54 hrs to 48, he would be pilloried as a flaming liberal from Taxachusetts.

I guess the truth must be somewhere in the middle.

2. Coolidge wasn't from the Kingdom
and the Kingdom- though it certainly has its share of liberals, both flaming and not- isn't exactly the most liberal part of the state.
