Dante once said that the hottest places in hell are reserved for those
who in a period of moral crisis maintain their neutrality.

Falling Down on the Job

At DailyKos, Smintheus has a great post that shows how much John McCain is neglecting his duties as Arizona Senator. Yes, he has a busy schedule running for president, but this is a bit ridiculous:

Here are some numbers:
    • 63% - How many votes in the Senate McCain has skipped during the 110th Congress (since January 2007).
    • 96 - The number of Senate votes McCain has missed
      since his last recorded vote on April 8.
    • 111 - The number of days since
      McCain last attended a committee hearing (of the Senate Armed Services Committee, on April 9).
    • 25% - How many full SASC hearings McCain has attended during the 110th Congress.
    • 89% - How many full SASC hearings McCain has skipped since April 2007 (32 out of the last 36 hearings).
    • 2007 - The last year in which McCain attended any Commerce, Science & Transportation Committee hearings or subcommittee hearings.
There's more here to love ...
Is there really a chance that John McCain will lose Arizona to Barack Obama?
Yes!
