How liberal is Obama (and other Illinois politicians)?

Boris, at the red/blue blog tells us the answer http://redbluerichpoor.com/blog/?p=54

Obama as an Illinois state senator was very liberal, but there were others substantially more liberal still. Of all 295 incumbents who served from 1996-2004 in Illinois, State Senator Obama ranked in the 14th percentile on my liberalism scale. In the Democratic party, he ranked in the 27th percentile.

  1. To me, he dropped completely off the liberal scale when he supported FISA.
