It depends on his state or district. Utah is so deeply conservative that a Senator from that state could get away with being probably the most radically conservative member of Congress. Bennett is a nonentity and has accomplished nothing. He is probably in the more liberal half of the GOP Conference. The standard we should hold Members to is whether they are trying, exerting effort, rather than just drifting along. Bennett has exerted no effort. How conservative should a Member of Congress be?
