ADA gives Liberman a 76%. In comparison, Ted Kennedy has a 90%, a very high rating.

ACU gives Ted Kennendy a lifetime career percentage of three, which is no suprise, considering that they're a conservative PAC. Joe Lieberman has a 17% career average, which is considerably higher than most other Democrats.

So, he is certainly not in the company of Ted Kennedy, unless being in the company of Ted Kennedy means that you are a Democrat in name.
