Does anybody have any info on McCain's "present" votes?
I know the stats on him missing votes, I was wondering if anybody looked if or how often he has voted present or abstained.

1. If you're looking for something to counter the accusation that
Obama voted "present" over a hundred times in the illinois Senate, it is considered a positive act to do that there: I understand that they do that in Illinois when they don't feel a bill is quite ready yet, but they don't want to kill it or pass it as is...Kind of a "Show me more..."

As opposed to a strict abstain or a yay/nay....


Or I could just be reading the question inherent in your question cause I need more coffee....


:hi:

2. not really looking to counter
I think there is plenty to counter that with McCain's missed vote, I mean he's missed more votes this year than Obama voted "present" on in Illinois. I was just looking for info on McCain's present or abstain votes.

So how are you anyway? I'm about to crash out, been up all night, lol.
