Progressives deride her as cozy with Wall Street but Hillary Clinton appears to be a near-ideological equal on banking policy with Elizabeth Warren, the liberal crusader for financial reform.

That convention-busting piece of data is one of the many surprises released Wednesday from a novel political ranking system that uses public campaign finance data to plot where potential White House contenders fall on the political spectrum. The results were provided exclusively to CNN before Wednesday's release.

Yes, a "novel" complicated black-box generates results that show that Clinton is "a near-idealogical equal on banking policy with "Elizabeth Warren." Interesting that Warren is being bandied about the primary opponent most favored by liberals and progressives, and that Hillary's support among that group is sagging.

I'm sure glad to learn that Hillary is just as liberal as her opponent, and just in time! Trust us, this "novel political ranking system" says so!
