OK, I should have seen it, but so much easier with a live page. It’s the default left padding. Adjust the padding below in red to suit:

#leftcolumn .box_blue .content ul {
        margin-left:0px;
        margin-right:0px;
	list-style: none;
	line-height: normal;
        [COLOR="Red"]padding: 0;[/COLOR]
}
