 12:09 PM  Wisconsin Dems get 'A' from poverty group

The Sargent Shriver National Center on Poverty Law issued its "Poverty Scorecard 2009" today, grading every member of Congress based on their votes on 14 bills the center argues would help fight poverty in the country.

All Democrats in the Wisconsin delegation ended up with A's. Four of the state's Dem members of Congress -- U.S. Reps. Tammy Baldwin, Steve Kagen, Ron Kind and Dave Obey -- garnered A-pluses from the group.

Of the Republicans in the Wisconsin delegation, U.S. Reps. Paul Ryan and Jim Sensenbrenner received F's, and U.S. Rep. Tom Petri received a C.
