Link please! I don't believe anything anyone says on here unless they can back it up with a link. The actual reason I won't to know is to check it with another site I have that disputes that. You give me your link and I'll give you mine.
Edit: And when I say disputes that I mean the Senate voting record. The first part of your question is politics as usual. Nothing more than Romney and Huckabee are doing or how Hillary's campaign is trying to smear Obama. It's politics!

I have no idea, that man is in no place to be criticizing anyone's record. According the NY Times, he missed 70% of Senate votes & the votes he actually bothered to show up for were marked present.. His sixth and seventh important acts as a senator were to vote for a bill that made it nearly impossible for ordinary people to sue giant corporations who rob & defraud. He made an elaborate speech against the Patriot Act, only to vote in favor to reauthorizing it. On top of that the same Iran vote he criticizes Senator Clinton for he missed himself, and acutally co-sponsored the same exact bill back in April.
One speech, made five years ago and constantly touting that he's above the speacil interest influence in Washington (which is a blatant lie) is the apparent sole basis for Senator Obama's campaign. He doesn't seem to have a clear postion on anything. But then again should anyone really be surprised he's a frontrunner? afterall this is the same country that elected Bush twice.

It's politics , that's the way the game is played. If you remember in the '04 elections, Kerry criticized Edwards for no experience among other things. Guess who wound up accepting the VP nomination?

Because He, Edwards, and Hillary are all empty shirt senators compared to the other senators running. By attacking that they direct attention away from their own shoddy record
