McCain missed 60% of votes, Obama 41%, Clinton 30%


But let’s not focus on the legislators who weren’t there (see this chart). How about cheers for the ones who have never missed a vote:*

*Love it – the two Senators from Maine. Both women. Both Republicans. Good for them, and good for their constituents. Don’t they have campaign finance caps there? Sliding doors – I thought I was going to be a schoolteacher in Maine when I graduate college. And here I am in Ohio, blogging.

What we don’t see: how does this record compare to Senators who got comparably far into the presidential nomination process? Is it standard to miss between 30-60%? I don’t know.
