Yesterday the Washington Post<\/a> published the following chart:<\/p>\n

\"Obamatons\"<\/p>\n

The graph was also posted at Power Line<\/a> by Scott Johnson<\/a>. So what is the value of this graph?<\/p>\n

The article at Power Line reports:<\/p>\n

On two occasions this campaign season, against all the odds, President Obama<\/a> has said something useful and, even more improbably, something true. On those occasions he advertised the fact that the Democratic Senate candidates running for election or reelection in states such as Colorado, New Hampshire<\/a>, Louisiana, Alaska, North Carolina, and Arkansas are in the bag for him. When their vote is needed, Obama can count on it, and when they tell the voters of their states they wake up every day thinking how best they can protect their interests, as Jeanne Shaheen did<\/a> last night in her debate with Scott Brown, they are playing the voters for chumps.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article at Power Line also includes the following footnote:<\/p>\n

FOOTNOTE: The layers of fact checkers and editors at the Post apparently failed to observe that the Colorado Senator\u2019s first name is Mark, not Tom (who is Mark\u2019s first cousin and the Senator from New Mexico<\/a>). Tom Udall<\/a> is not to be confused with Mark Udall<\/a>. Tom Udall only votes with Obama 94 percent of the time.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The current Democrat party<\/a> does not allow for voting independence on the part of its elected officials–they are required to follow the party line. If we want a Congress that represents the people it is supposed to represent, we need to change our voting habits.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
