Remember that essential economic stimulus plan Bush urged Congress to pass in his State of the Union? Well, the only Republican running for president won't be in Washington to cast his vote on such an important piece of legislation. McCain has decided he can improve the country more by convincing the Limbaughs of the world that he truly is a conservative. MSNBC mentioned the missed vote this morning, but I have a feeling his absence won't be mentioned nearly as much as it should be.
Oh, and it's a pattern. You wouldn't know it from listening to our media, but McCain misses more votes than anyone. As Media Matters has pointed out, in 2007, "100 years" McCain "missed more votes than any other senator since Congress convened in January (with the exception of Sen. Tim Johnson [D-SD], who spent months recuperating from a brain hemorrhage)." I'm just saying.
Update: To be fair, neither Clinton nor Obama made the vote either.
