Ernie,
I've got to truly admire how you can keep a cool head under fire. Seriously.
That's probably also one of Obamas' amazing traits, that he can remain so entirely rational under fire from, not only the Clintons, but also the usual political smearing from the opposite party. Barrack exhibits the actual appearance of being bullet-proof, often an elusive quality ...even on this forum.
Remaining cool has been one of McCains weak spots, one he has made great effort to overcome. But in his defense, I'd be a little twitchy too, especially if I'd endured what he has, even recently from new thinkers in his own party, for cripes sakes.
Somebody had earlier mentioned voting percentages on this thread. I found an interesting website that relates directly:

I imagine the % record varies a bit from week to week but the gist is there.
Some examples of percent missed:
McCain 56.4% missed
Barrack 37.4%
Hillary 26.8%
Kennedy 7.8%
Kerry 4.7%
Elizabeth Dole
only missed 3.6% ...nice lady whom my wife likes
Byron Dorgan 1.5% and Kent Conrad 1.3% ...both North Dakota senators.
I'm sorry if I earlier made it look like I took advantage of Rons' offer to sacrifice you. I know he was kidding. I like your posts, just had to thow in my 2 cents.
