Yep, McCain is #1. Followed by Johnson who was sick. Think that Obama is #3

wow, he missed 60% of votes? i hope if he's elected he can find the time to act as president. sounds like he doesn't take his job to seriously. this could be a real concern. i guess it's a good thing he's had a government job for so long. if you miss 60% of your time in the real world i would have to think you'd be fired.

And from what I gathered, most of the time hussien only put present and did not even vote when he was there. Wonder what that is all about.

If Obama had the tenure that McCain has, he would blow McCains record off the map. Obama has not voted, nor done his appointed work as chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Subcommittee on European Affairs. He hasnt even show up to work on this matter, as well as anything else.

#3, that is telling since he is still wet behind the ears

actually, only being in the senate for a year and campaigning for president a lot of that time would explain obama's missed votes. Mc Cain on the other hand, i'm not sure. maybe he's busy cheating on his wife or something. who knows.

It is glaring you have an agenda, but when did running for president give you a pass from doing the job you were voted in to office to do? As for McCain, I dont know what all his absence were for. I do know McCain has been busy traveling and visiting areas that Obamarefusesto visit. Even thoughObama is in a possitionthat mandates him to travel and work with other countries, but he still refuses to. All I know is that Obama has far less experience and credentials to do the job than anyone who was/is running against him. And when you factor in his agenda to help Africa, his refusal to do his appointed job, and his controversial bed fellows, I don't think hehas a chance of winning the general. And if he does win, it only proves that America has lost its mind and are too star struck to use their brains. Is McCain the best candidate? No, but between the two, he is by far the best choice. Obama has anti American affiliations and is even married to a womenwho is not proud of America,,,, oh yea, she is now proud due to the fact her husband is in a bid for the presidency. How convenient. I would like to hear from an Obama supporter what it is that makes him a credible candidate? He was the least experienced of all the Democrats who were running agianst him. charisma dose not make a good leader. This backing by the Demos, as well as their choose of speaker of the house, just proves that the Demo party is so far removed from the Kennedy years that it should change its name. A demo congress and Obama at the reighns scares the hell out of me.

Looks to me like McCain must be working his butt off. When Kerry was running for President, he missed more than 70% of the votes...

So it's okay for Obama to miss votes, because he's a spring chicken. But it isn't okay for McCain to miss votes, because he's an old-timer? I would say that your logic is flawed, but that's pretty much assumed by this point.
