When you think McCain-Economy, maybe this picture enters your mind. McCain is scared stiff of the economy. At least, that's what the media tells us.

The truth is, this is just an outmoded carry-over from the primary season (granted, not yet completely over). When you compare McCain with an economy guru like Romney or even a long-time governor like Huckabee, McCain's lack of familiarity stands out like a sore thumb. McCain, the economic neophyte, took several solid hits during the primaries on account of this weakness. The hits connected, but the knockout never came. In the end, his war-rhetoric won out, and now he's the all-but-certain nominee.

While on my adventure in Kos land, I got to thinking.
People talk about Records a lot-- they say things like, Obama doesn't have much of a record and it's super duper liberal, or Hillary's succeeded in crafting a fairly moderate voting record over the years., or even, McCain's record, despite what they tell you, is rather conservative.

That kind of thing.

The other thing people (politicians mainly) say about records is that, if you would just look at my record, the whole world will be evident.

The fact is not many of us go out of our way to read up on the candidates voting history. So I decided to present the BHO and HRC records side by side here.

Keep in mind that missed votes often say volumes more than the voted votes. It's like McCain saying he's a social conservative when he's tried to avoid all the key social conservative votes -- the misses matter.
