Over at OTB, Chris Lawrence1 ran some numbers and found:
On the Republican side, John McCain appears in the middle of the GOP pack, as the 20th most-conservative senator, with no credible chance of being the “most conservative” (a rating that South Carolina’s Jim DeMint runs away with). McCain is, however, more conservative than GOP stalwarts like Orrin Hatch, Thad Cochran, Sam Brownback, and Lamar Alexander.
He ran the Dems as well and has a nifty chart and everything.

FYI, I just added the full chart to the post, so you can click through and see everybody. Yes, the red and blue are reversed, and no, I wasn’t able to figure out an easy way to fix it.

Lamar! Alexander is a GOP stalwart?
(Yes, the punctuation is intentional)

I don’t think Lamar! has ever been a Democrat. He did sully himself by being Secretary of Education once, though, so maybe he has to turn in his GOP membership card for that.

I am running against Mr. Alexander this year. I picked up on your site. Have a great day.
