The reader will find it very informative to sift through Project Vote Smart's list of various interest group ratings of Tom Daschle. One of the more interesting ratings listed is from the National Journal:
According to the National Journal - Composite Liberal Score's calculations, in 2003, Senator Daschle voted more liberal on economic, defense and foreign policy issues than 80 percent of the Senators.
By comparison, moderate Democratic Senator John Breaux voted more liberal on economic, defense and foreign policy issues than 55% of the Senators.
One of the more surprising ratings given to Tom Daschle is his rating from the American Legion. Given Daschle's constant touting of his record on veterans' issues, he only gets a 50% rating from the American Legion.
