U. S. Chamber of Commerce ranks the Congresspeople: See how corporatist yours are

[Ardent15]

They have their most recent scores, from 2008, and the cumulative scores.

My congressperson, Anna Eshoo, is 61 cumulative, and 39 from 2008. The lower the score, the better.

My Senators, Feinstein and Boxer, respectively have cumulative scores of 63 and 57, and 2008 scores of 49 and 30.

Compare this to Bernie Snaders, who has a cumulative score of 38, and a 2008 score of 17.

Obama had a cumulative score of 67 and a 2008 score of 32. Rahm Emmanuel had a cumulative score of 67 and a 2008 score of 48.

6. Oh, my goodness.

As if we didn't know, Alaska is bought and paid for.

Don Young - 73% in 2008, 75% cumulative

Ted Stevens - 100% in 2008, 78% cumulative
Lisa Murkowski - 86% in 2008, 93% cumulative

8. Pretty OLD information - Alan Grayson replaced Ric Keller in Nov 2008.

I kind of figured Ric would get a 95. I was wanting to see how they rate Alan (my guess: 22).
