According to an analysis by The Washington Times of legislative records of the presidential candidates, John McCain‘s history of working with Democrats outdoes Obama’s work with Republicans.
The silver-haired vet is more bipartisan than the Illinois Senator.
For McCain, Democrats populated 55% of his political partners through the past two Congresses, which included some difficult issues such as campaign finance and global warming. For Obama, however, Republicans composed only 13% of his co-sponsors during his time in Senate, which included honoring civil rights icon Rosa Parks with a postage stamp.
If you want some more numbers, McCain has voted with the majority of Senate Republicans 85% of the time throughout his Senate career, while Obama voted in favor of his party 97% of the time.
So, basically, McCain is a Republican who happens to agree with Democrats more often than Obama, a Democrat, happens to agree with Republicans.
So you see, even the Republican presidential candidate is voting Democratic!
