Charitable of them.

They're right. But it's ironic that they'd say that, given the moderate voting records of Chris Chocola and Pat Toomey.

Oh, I know. Better, not best.

Well, C4G is IIRC monetarist, so Toomey and Chocola had just about perfect voting records by their standards.

But they didn't. Toomey's record, by C4G's own grading system, was worse then Arlen Specter's. I don't know Chocola's C4G grades, but I know he voted for Medicare Part D.

C4G seems to me to be much more business subsidy friendly than C4L, but not nearly on the level of CofC.

IIRC they had several posts up on their blog bashing corporate subsidies last week.
