John Edwards may have a perfect record RECENTLY, but prior to having light displayed on his record, he was missing somewhere around 16% of the roll call votes.
If he's indeed running for re-election (typically, he hasn't showed his cards on this yet), then that may speak volumes about his confidence in winning the Dem Presidential nomination.
Yep, and it also highlights that Kerry, Lieberman, etc., could make most of the votes if they just made a little effort.
