How many other jobs where the people are being paid by tax payers can someone not show up for work for two years and not be fired? (Sure some civil servants, but they are not as well known) How much work as a Senator has Obama and McCain done in the last few years.
Shouldn't Onama and McCain resign from the Senate and give back the money they earned during the last few years while they were running for President?
Doesn't really matter as Obama never accomplished anything when he was in the Senate full time. Oh wait....he did vote "present" several times. Woohoo!
I think you should have to resign to run for the presidency. but then again, these idiots don't do too much in washington anyways. well, besides argue.

Whoa...
Fully exposed your understanding of Illinois legislature with that one....~may wish to be more careful~
How about "temporary leave" instead of resignation. McCain will want to have a job after November, after all.
This makes sense....depends on one's constituents as well. Kind of a catch 22 - Proud to have your Representative running for the Presidency, but, you did hire them to represent you in Congress.

How about letting your other Senator vote twice? Or if it's a House Rep running, let him/her appoint someone else from the same state to take his/her votes? Do Reps get secretaries?

LOL! I was thinking the exact same thing. Can't imagine him as president. If not for the fact that we'd all suffer if he gets in I wouldn't mind his blind followers seeing what a friggin mess he'd make.
Well since McCain has voted fewer times in the last couple of years than Tim Johnson, who was in the hospital after suffering a stroke, it might be a good idea. With fewer votes he would have fewer issues to flip flop on.
But then he's hanging on to build his pension benefits (another double dipper) in case the next blond hottie he runs into isn't a multi-millionairess.
