I wonder if Cindy McCain had any more cold chills down her spine when she saw this?

When you download and read the report you can see the difference (did YOU even read it?).
McCain scored 3 points and Obama scored 7. The difference is that McCain missed 6 votes due to campaigning and Obama missed 4. Obama got EXTRA CREDIT for sponsoring the GI Bill that this particular organization liked and no points for sponsoring a competing GI BIll.
Hardly a case to make that McCain does not support Veterans.
