According to WashingtonPost.com, since 2000, McCain has voted with a majority of his fellow Senate Republicans an average of 82 percent of the time. That's only slightly less than the average for all Republican senators, who toed the party line almost 87 percent of the time in the same period.

McCain on the defensive
Obama has put McCain on the defensive by targeting some states that have been easy wins for Republicans in recent presidential elections. McCain's political director said Saturday the Republican nominee is increasing staff levels in North Carolina to defend a state that has not gone Democratic for more than three decades.

Obama's rise coincided not only with the financial meltdown but with his own more aggressive campaign stance.

"His solution was to blame me for it," Obama said Saturday, referring to the economic crisis. "I would say Sen. McCain is a little panicked."
