From the Dome today:

The fourth annual report by technology consulting firm Knowlegis on Congressional power was based on leadership positions, indirect influence, legislative activity and earmarks.

U.S. Sen. Richard Burr score 18.94, ranking 69th in the Senate; while Sen. Elizabeth Dole scored 13.39, ranking 93rd.

In the House, Rep. Mel Watt scored 32.75, ranking 53rd; Rep. David Price scored 30.16, ranking 67th.

The least influential were Rep. Robin Hayes, who scored 9.56 and ranked 360th; and Rep. Virginia Foxx, who scored 6.49 and ranked 399th.

Go see the Dome for links to the complete listing.

Liddy's ranked 93rd? Holy smokes. I knew she was a born-and-bred Bushbot, but I didn't realize how ineffective she actually has been.

No matter that patriotism is too often the refuge of scoundrels. Dissent, rebellion, and all-around hell-raising remain the true duty of patriots.

TrueMeckDem on Myers Park Pat

"My opinion of Pat has changed over the years. I used to think he was truly a man of the people but the longer he has been mayor, the less I think of him.

As with most cities, Charlotte has three political parties: Dem, Rep, and Chamber of Commerce. Pat is definitely the puppet of the COC here. What is good for business is good for Charlotte and Pat ... very personable guy, he has gotten a bunch of Dems in these parts to vote for him but I don't trust him."
