    Cantwell may be "liberal", whatever that means, but she certainly doesn't vote that way.
    On 20 key issues, she has against the Democratic position 75% of the time. http://www.bushwatch.com/archives-jan06.htm (scroll down to "roll call"
    Besides voting for every crony Bush put before the Senate, she voted for cloture on the Alito nomination. Not very liberal, is it.
    Even Washington voters that haven't kept tabs on her voting record don't "like" her.
    Given that she won by one of the slimmest margins ever and six years later, voters are unhappy, we can and should do better than trying to re-electing a GOP wanna' be.
