And Kerry is ranked twice more conservative than Kennedy by a conservative watchdog group, the American Conservative Union. A lot of these "watchdog" groups use subjective analysis in ranking particular votes, and they frequently have wide discrepancies in their assessments of candidates.
All I'm saying is that the Bush campaign strategy is going to use the tired old, worn out strategy of casting the opponent as "a tax and spend liberal", "the second coming of Walter Mondale", etc. I think they're going to have a tough time making a strong enough case, especially in light of Bush running the national debt through the roof the past three years.
