McCain Misses 42nd Straight Vote ... and Counting
Sen. John McCain (R-Campaign Trail) missed another vote today on a
resolution related to the Iraq war, skipping a procedural move on a
war funding measure in favor of hitting the campaign trail in New York.
In fact, McCain's missed vote today marked his fifth straight week
without casting a vote on the Senate floor, with this morning's vote
marking the 42nd straight roll call that he has missed.
Since the first-quarter fundraising period for presidential candidates
ended March 31, McCain has made just three floor votes. He hasn't cast
a single vote since the full details of his wildly disappointing
presidential campaign's fundraising report were revealed in mid-April.
If McCain misses the next three votes -- the $2.9 trillion fiscal 2008
budget is likely to be voted on this afternoon -- he will officially
have been absent for 50 percent of the more than 170 roll calls held
in the chamber so far in the 110th Congress.
