*Kerrey's* voting record in the Senate looks to me like he has voted the Democratic Leadership Council's straight corporate agenda ticket.

Interestingly enough, I do vaguely remember hearing and reading(?) some positive stuff about this guy back in the 70's before he got involved in big time national politics.

I also know that organized labor in Nebraska had some health&safety critiscism of his chicken resturant businesses a decade ago.
