Obama missed 45.9% and Senator Clinton missed 32.2% of the votes, so senators running for president did miss a lot, but McCain was the clear #1. In fact, McCain's 64.1% of missed votes is greater than Senator Tim Johnson who missed 48.4% because he suffered a brain hemorrhage in December of 2006 and spent several months recovering. In fact, Senator Ted Kennedy who was recovering from surgery for a brain tumor, showed up in July to cast a vote to end a Republican filibuster on a Medicare bill. The final vote was 69-30. Although 99 senators showed up to vote, it was not important enough for John McCain to be there.

What makes me especially proud is to see that both of my senators here in Wisconsin, Feingold and Kohl, have missed 0% of the votes.
