Who are the most progressive / liberal / effective Elected Officials?

Advertisements [?]

Does anybody have a list? Last fall, they said Kerry and Edwards were the "2nd and 4th most liberal members of Congress".

But who really are the Outstanding Progressive Politicians right now? Has anyone scored them on a objective scale based on legislation? Or scored them on a subjective scale based on professed ideology?

My notions, just from a spontaneous guess:

the late Paul Wellstone
Dennis Kucinich
John Conyers
Maxine Waters
Cynthia McKinney
Ted Kennedy
John Kerry
Tom Harkin
Nancy Pelosi

Any links or references to these type of lists?

Does anyone care to suggest more names from gut feeling or intuition?
