Almost every Senator's record is full of NV's.

McCain... http://www.votesmart.org/voting_cate...an_id=S0061103

Obama... http://www.votesmart.org/voting_cate...hp?can_id=9490

Clinton... http://www.votesmart.org/voting_cate...p?can_id=55463

I'll admit that I didn't count the non-votes on each of the above pages but it looks like Obama and McCain have more non-votes that Clinton. It looks like McCain NV's as often as Obama and Clinton votes more often. Sure, I can see why this would be a factor (depending on what the votes were for) in choosing Clinton over Obama. But why would this make any liberal vote for McCain over Obama?
