The 90% figure doesn't mean much to those of us who are sticklers for numbers. First off, Bush doesn't have a vote, so what is being measured? Second, if McCain is 90%, what is Obama? 90%, 80%, 70%? Given that many of the votes were on things like confirming judges, naming buildings and funding government operations, what number is a bad number, in your mind? What's more important, and relevant, is what votes McCain and Obama disagreed with each other on. Let's see a list of those before we scare people into thinking that McCain will destroy the country because he's Bush III.
