"I found my moving buddy."

This article from CQPolitics.com, via Yahoo!, details a study based on voting records for 2007 showing that if they want to differentiate themselves, the four top Democratic candidates for President (Biden (B), Clinton (C), Dodd (D), and Obama (O)) are going to have to be pretty creative. What's telling, though, are not instances when they voted similarly, but when they voted differently, most of which are summarized below:

To bar members of Congress from paying their families with campaign funds: B, C, and D against, O for.

To require the names of “earmark” sponsors to be made public and mandated the disclosure of earmark recipients: B, C, and D against, O for.

To create an independent Office of Public Integrity to investigate alleged ethics rules violations by members of Congress: C and D against, B and O for.

Regarding federal homeland security grants to states:
Reducing the minimum guaranteed grants to 0.25 percent of the total for all states: B and D against, C and O for.
Reducing the minimum guaranteed to states to 0.25 percent and also apply a rate of 0.45 percent to states with an international border or port. B and D, who represent small-population states, were against. O and C, who represent large-population states, were for.
To set the minimum guaranteed to states for federal homeland security grants at 0.75 percent: B and D for, O and C against.

To set a sunset provision so as to allow Congress to review and modify legislation based on recommendations made by the Sept. 11 commission if needed: B, C, and D against, Obama for.

To require the rerouting of rail shipments of hazardous materials near high-risk areas: C against, B, D, and O for.

To strike $100 million in emergency funding for the 2008 presidential nominating conventions from the fiscal 2007 supplemental war spending bill: B, C, and D against, O for. Notably, the amendment was rejected 45-51, meaning B, C, and D's votes helped us narrowly avoid the tragedy of $100M not being appropriated for presidential conventions. I hope that isn't what it sounds like it means.

For the above votes, only one candidate agreed with me every time. Suddenly his lack of experience isn't bothering me so much.
