You posted a site that lists Obama's legislative accomplishments. Other than McCain-Feingold (which it seems he rather regrets now), were you successful at all in finding any of Sen. McCain's key legislative successes?

I had little luck.

aren't all congressman placed in committees? Even Dennis Kucinich is in committees.

And McCain spent 5 years in prison. This could send a bad message. Americans who have spent time in prison may start running for office. Members of the Gotti Family, Gangster Rappers, Tax Cheats, Michael Milton. Most popular movies are about gangsters and outlaws, and being arrested is known to increase record sales and merchandise sales. Hopefully McCain won't set a precedent encouraging them to become (seriously)politically active. I'd hate to see Michael Milken elected to office.
