McCain's voting record 2nd worst in Senate
Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., has been busy on the campaign trail - so busy he's missed the 2nd most votes in the U.S. Senate.

McCain has missed about 33 percent of the 126 votes in the Senate this session, according to The Washington Post's Vote Database.

Only Sen. Tim Johnson, D-S.D. has missed more, after suffering a brain hemorrhage in December.

1. I watch C-Span a lot. I've never seen McCain in the Senate..
I'm fine with that, but I wish he would totally disappear.

2. He's throwing it all away for his big chance. I guess he must not
be up for re-election in '08?

3. Judging by his Iraq trip,
perhaps it is Sen. McCain who should seek treatment for brain hemorrhage. It's the only thing that makes sense!

4. Another way to look at it
is that the more that McCain stays away from the Senate, the better off the country is. He should be encouraged to miss more votes.
