Who Is the Real Most Liberal Senator?

So the National Journal's contention that Obama is most liberal member of the Senate has been pretty widely discredited across the internet. So who is the most liberal? A much more trustworthy rating system provides some answers here.

The organization Progressive Punch also keeps tabs on this very question, and by their current rankings Obama is only the 24th most liberal Senator - in fact, according to their algorithms he's been significantly more conservative during '07-08 than during his first two years in the Senate.
