(1,089 posts)I think you're right...after objectively reviewing Bernie's LES (Legislative Effectiveness Score) during his entire time in Congress I believe that not only did it not matter that he wasn't in DC to vote recently, but it didn't really matter if he hadn't been in Congress his entire career!

The LES measures how effectively a member of the House or Senate was in moving his or her agenda through Congress from introducing a bill until it possibly becomes law. An LES of 0.5 to 1.5 qualifies as "Meeting Expectations". An LES below 0.5 is "Below Expectations". Behold the record of a certain lawmaker hailing from the great state of Vermont...

Had one really good Congressional session (113th) and another one where he barely met expectations (111th). During the other 24 years in Congress it's pretty much been a miserable performance when it comes to effectiveness.
BS kinda reminds me of a ballplayer who had one very good season during his career, one barely acceptable season and a whole bunch of other dismal seasons. Making a single All-Star game doesn't put you in the Hall of Fame.
Also did Biden's so if you're interested just gimme a shout and I'll be more than happy to oblige.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
