Long Arm of DeLay - How Close Is Your Rep To Delay

[Jon8503]

Cool Site From Mother Jones:

The Public Campaign Action Fund has put out a fun list

http://www.pcactionfund.org/delayspocket/di.htm

that helps you look up how close your representative is to Tom DeLay. (A representative's ranking is based on money received and/or donated, as well as lockstep voting patterns, among other things.) Perhaps your Rep does better than mine, MO vs. KS.

1. He hates my rep and so does bush.

2. Way, way, WAY too close.

Delay is what Trent Franks aspires to be.

God help me.

3. Looks like the ranking leans more toward voting record

4. Excellent data, thanks for posting here

I saw your original post in the Kansas forum and have been playing with this in Excel.

The default sort is by closeness of votes to DeLay's. But in excel it can be sorted in so many other ways, such as by descending dollars to, dollars from.

I'm proud to say that my entire delegateion is not only DeLay-free (no money given or taken), the "votes with" percentage is extremely low.

NOMINATED AND BOOKMARKED!
