But I also found this that I thought was curious, in order to get ranked you have to vote on a minimal number of issues I guess to establish a pattern:
"Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., the only other senator whose presidential candidacy survived the initial round of primaries and caucuses this year, did not vote frequently enough in 2007 to draw a composite score. He missed more than half of the votes in both the economic and foreign-policy categories."

Thanks for sharing this informative info with us this morning. There is so much news out their that we have yet to learn about McCain and Obama. It's going to be a long, long battle to November.
