Who are the worst national politicians?

It seems this little grading process is mostly ideologically driven. That kind of makes it an arid exercise doesn't it?

Not really.  You don't think Cantor and McConnell are total assholes, ideology aside?

Cantor more than McConnell. I consider McConnell a very skilled and savvy technician, who works very effectively behind the scenes. He's a work horse, rather than a show horse.

That's one measure that might be more interesting (thanks for the little dig there, I appreciate it). Perhaps more interesting still, would be to focus on who [does not] work hard rather than being an attention whoring show horse, [does not] know the issues, [or] present their case well, [lacks]  a reputation for fairness and honesty, is [not] creative, [fails to] comes up with solutions and compromises others miss, is [not] respected by their peers, and so forth.
