32. Nope.
It's not bias. I have spent the past four months reading presidential biographies by a gamut of historians.

It has little to do with bias, although I agree that no one is absent of it.

Why would I be biased toward LBJ? After reading Dallek's two bios on him, and contrasting them to other bios on him, I find Dallek's the most convincing.

Also, I read numerous bios on FDR, and political inquiries on the New Deal.

This is how I came to the conclusion. I have no personal reasons for selecting LBJ as the most liberal...just that everything I have read points to that.
