Four candidates tie for next most liberal economically with a score of 10...On the other hand, that does not apply to Amy Klobuchar, who is still in the Senate and also has an economic score of 10. Considering that she was one of the most centrist candidates according to Voteview, that's even more surprising. However, she is tied for the lowest social score with 65, which leads On The Issues to consider her a Populist-Leaning Liberal in contrast with the other four candidates so far, which have the label of Hard-Core Liberal. It's possible that her social ideology influences her votes. I may have to use another method to figure out where she really fits on a left-right number line.

The fifth most liberal candidate according to Voteview is the sixth most liberal accoring to On The Issues, Kirsten Gillibrand with an economic score of 13 and a social score of 70. At least her rhetoric matches her votes, although her relatively low social score leads On The Issues to label her as a Populist-Leaning Liberal.
