A Quick Note

This statistic means different things to different people, but Barack Obama keeps saying that John McCain votes with President Bush 90% of the time. It’s true (in 2007). If you’re a Democrat, that generally makes you dislike John McCain.

However, in his acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention tonight, I would really like Senator Obama to tell his supporters that he has voted with President Bush more than 40% of the time. Many have probably been thinking that Obama has opposed the President on every one of his “wretched” policies and I really just want to see how the truth would go over at a stadium full of the President's opponents.
