While the media goes to some length to picture Joe Biden as a centrist, the voting records of the liberal Americans for Democratic Action tell something slightly different. . In 2008, before running for vice president, Biden got a liberal score of 80% (and probably would have gotten 90%) if he hadn't missed two key votes. Two years earlier, in 2006, he got a 100% liberal rating from ADA, the same as Bernie Sanders gets now.
Incidentally, two women senators being mentioned as possible Biden running mates are Kamala Harris and Amy Klobuchar. Harris gets a 100% ADA rating and Klobuchar comes in at 95%.

Americans for Democratic Action have a bar so low people trip over it. The small amount of "liberal" legislation that actually comes out of Washington makes it easy for any centrist to look liberal by voting for the few bits of "liberal" legislation that actually move forward.
