Help--can you link me to prior posts on Edwards' voting?
This evening I was volunteering at a non-political event and the conversation turned to the debates. All three people at my table thought Cheney had won the debate with Edwards. Specifically one person (a lawyer for insurance companies) thought that Cheney really landed a blow when he pointed out how many votes Edwards missed. I said, "unfortunately, much of what Cheney said was simply not true." I pointed out the voting record showing Edwards had an excellent record until he was out on the road campaigning, but didn't have the details of the %s. But I know I saw them summarized, maybe with a link, here right after the debate. However, after a fairly extensive DU search (even the archives: I can't find the right keywords, I guess) I could not find the info I was seeking.

Can anyone help? Thanks.
