Has missed 400 votes, more than any other Senator;
111 - The number of days since McCain last attended a committee hearing (of the Senate Armed Services Committee, on April 9).

25% - How many full SASC hearings McCain has attended during the 110th Congress.

89% - How many full SASC hearings McCain has skipped since April 2007 (32 out of the last 36 hearings).

2007 - The last year in which McCain attended any Commerce, Science & Transportation Committee hearings or subcommittee hearings.

Perhaps he's working from the same benefits schedule as The Deciderer.

Maybe they were emailing the details to him.

My brother moved to Arizona about 10 years ago. He's registering to vote for the first time, and plans to vote for Obama. He told me that "no one" he knows likes McCain. My parents moved to Arizona a year ago (hey, my brother finally gave them their first grandchild, they had to...) and also plan (for the first time in their lives) to vote for the Democrat. Pollster has Arizona listed as a swing state now. Exciting stuff!

To be fair, once the campaign starts, nothing gets done, which explains the last 8 years. Bush never got off the back of the bus.

Maybe they were emailing the details to him.

Ah-hah! There's the problem!

That would also explain his masterful grasp of the issues.
