Connie Johnson is not to Landrieu's right.

They also say Harkin would have been to Braley's right, which I don't get.

That seems reasonable. Braley is very much from the progressive populist mold.

Perhaps the fact that these rankings account for donors is skewing the ideology of the candidates.

What a bunch of dumbs.  Harkin was the only Senator to vote against the fiscal cliff deal from the left.

I also doubt that Thom Tillis is to Land's left.

I always thought Tillis was to Cassidy's right, too.

Maybe Tillis is just further right compared to his state though. Tillis is about as conservative as you could get while still being able to win statewide. Republicans in LA could get still someone to Cassidy's right elected.

Did they put asterisks next to Brown because he has no real ideology?
