Congressional Quarterly is out with its midyear look at legislative voting trends as they apply to party unity and presidential support.
CQ’s story is here: http://www.cqpolitics.com/wmsp…
The interactive table is here:

For a quick look at the Colorado Senate and House delegation, check out my Coloradoan blog here: http://tr.im/r6Wg
As you might expect, Rep. Betsy Markey of Fort Collins votes with her party less often than any Colorado House member, 92 percent. Sen. Michael Bennet, who’s up for election in 2010,is at 91 percent.
The Democratic House median is 98 percent, according to CQ, and Marilyn Musgrave voted with the GOP 97 percent of the time in 2008. But CSU political science chair Bob Duffy predicts you’ll see Republican statements like “Markey votes with liberal Nancy Pelosi 92% of the time.”
The CQ article focuses on the outliers, particularly vulnerable Democrats like Minnick in Idaho and Bright in Alabama. Markey is mentioned briefly in the story.

Salazar doesn’t break with the party more often, since his splits have gotten more attention.
…when damned near everyone in the US hated Pat Schroeder. She was the poster child for the GOP revolution of 1994.
Everyone hated her except her own district. She got elected time after time because she understood and represented her district and they loved her for it.
When you think John Salazar, think Pat Schroeder. The politics are about 180 degrees different, but he understands and represents his district just as well.
He’ll be re-elected as long as he wants the job.
Just saying it’s surprising, given perceptions Salazar is more conservative than the Democrats as a whole.
When you turn it to support of Presidential positions, Jared Polis jumps to the top of Colorado “defectors”.
Bennett, to no-one’s surprise, ranks about 16th lowest (of 59 Democrats) in both Party and Presidential loyalty in the Senate…
These are only early season returns, so there’s a larger data set coming at the end of the year.
Living up to his campaign promise, Polis “broke” with Obama on the appropriations that funded Iraq/Afghanistan, which is why his score is lower.
Bennet is 97%, so put another way, he has the second highest Presidential support score of anyone in the Senate. There are 6 or 7 who score 100%, then a whole bunch who are at 97% with him.
