In Trouble In Arizona

Having destroyed his reputation in the fall campaign, John McCain now faces a serious challenge in his home state. The Tucson Citizen is getting pissy:

In 2007, The Washington Post reported McCain skipped 251 of 446 voting opportunities of the 110th Congress. McCain missed more votes than almost anyone in the Senate, second only to the senator who suffered a brain hemorrhage in late 2006. Guess what? The guy with the brain injury, Sen. Tim Johnson, D-S.D., recovered and returned to Congress. Our senator now boasts the worst record, having missed 64 percent of 656 voting opportunities.
