Here, Piggy, Piggy, Piggy!

The Club For Growth's 2007 Senate RePORK Card is out:

Only three senators received a perfect score of 100% (and were present for a majority of the votes): Senators Tom Coburn (R-OK), Jim DeMint (R-SC), and Richard Burr (R-NC).

The only senator receiving a 0% was Senator Tim Johnson (D-SD) who voted against all 10 anti-pork amendments he was present for.

The average Republican score was 59%; the average Democratic score was 12%.

The best scoring Democrat was Senator Russ Feingold (D-WI) with an impressive 80%, tying with or scoring better than thirty-nine Republican senators.

Of the presidential candidates, John McCain scored the best (100%), but only managed to vote on two of the 15 measures tracked.

The complete scorecard is here. I've also linked it in the Useful Stuff section of the sidebar.
The Club released a scorecard for the House back in August. It's here.
