NAM Records on Presidential Candidates
Wednesday, June 4, 2008Since Senator Obama has sewn up Democratic nomination for President, it seems a useful time to post his and Senator John McCain’s record on National Association of Manufacturers’ Key Votes.
The only Congress where we get a direct vote-to-vote comparison is the 109th Congress, 2005-2006. Senator Obama’s NAM vote rating was 16 percent. Sen. McCain’s was 63 percent.
Each NAM summary for the candidate’s includes a sampling of other group’s ratings.
