You can always go to each politician's own website, where they should state their positions and their voting record. BEWARE if there is not much posted, or if it is a lot of generalities, or if they avoid the gut issues, or if their positions right before the election seem to be changing.
Example: Claire McCaskill, challenger in Missouri for U.S. Senate. She won't state on her web-site that she is against lawful private ownership of firearms, and won't say that she has always favored partial birth abortion (she just flipped on that subject right before the election and now says she's against it).
Responses by others have suggested votesmart.org. Good advice. Check out McCaskill on votesmart.org versus incumbent Senator Jim Talent. Votesmart is an eye-opener.
