Votes missed:

Obama:


McCain:


The lower dotted line is the median; the upper dotted line is the 90th percentile.

I'm guessing the recent absentees are related to campaigning.

So what are you saying, exactly? Are both candidates not up for the job because they're both too busy running around trying to be presidents? I'd blame your electoral system before I'd blame individuals for not serving the public. Or do you have something more specific besides attendance you'd like to point out? Can you put more substance in your claims?
