All About McCain

Ok, so maybe McCain didn't vote that way the full 90% but it's still enough for me to call shenanigans on his maverick claim.

Haven't seen Obama's record. I've only seen reports of a few votes.

Interesting tidbit - my friend saw something that Palin's name used to be Pall but it got changed at Ellis Island (like many names, including apparently one of my family's names). The intake people couldn't read their handwriting, and thought it was Pali but added an "n" so it wouldn't sound Italian. I wonder what derivation they are? I may have to look that up out of curiosity.
