Best choice of wikilink?

[edit]

In the section #Legislation_and_voting_record, what's the most appropriate wikilink for the word "liberal" in the text "the most liberal senator"? There have been a number of suggestions in alphabetic order:

Resignation

[edit]

On Sunday, Sen. Obama will resign from office. (http://elections.foxnews.com/2008/11/13/president-elect-obama-resigns-senate/) Perhaps this should be mentioned? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.64.138.171 (talk) 01:08, 14 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've rated this article only at B-class because it should go through the WP:good article process before further advancement. I think it is nearly ready for this, though it does still need a proper "lead" section that summarizes the article. Mike Serfas (talk) 05:24, 1 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Weasel Phrase = Immigration Reform?

[edit]

Reforma Migratoria is being repeated over and over as a propaganda expression. Should not this be changed to either: 1) The senator sponsored stopping llegal immigration or 2) The senator sponsored permitting persons who illegally entered the USA to remain, or 3) something else factual? At any rate, "immigration reform" seems to me to be weasel words. IMHO the article should state precisely what change he favored in the immigration laws.

Obama a liberal?

[edit]

At the beginning of the article it is stated that Obama was one of the most liberal senators, according to several analyses, which aren't specified though. Further down one such analysis is refuted by Politifact. The article then provides the analysis by electoral-vote.com where he comes out pretty much at the bottom of the democratic senators in terms of liberalism.

To summarize, the article doesn't back up the fact that Obama was one of the most liberal senators. In fact, it argues the opposite. I therefore suggest to change the introduction of the article accordingly. 2003:ED:5F04:A6:45A1:D1D7:BBA8:1AF8 (talk) 09:23, 3 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
