Who will be the next one to cast a vote on the floor of the Senate, McCain or Obama?
Settled as Obama casts his next vote before McCain
Background:
Thanks to Ryan for a great idea...both candidates are out of town quite a bit now, and just aren't there to cast votes . . . BUT if a really important vote comes up where they NEED to cast a vote to affect the outcome, surely one or both of them will find their way back to DC.
If they both cast their next vote on the same bill, it'll be resolved as the third option.

Settlement requested Wed 9th Jul 12:37pm PDT by newswrangler: I believe the winning prediction is "Obama casts his next vote before McCain"
"Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama of Illinois voted for the bill, while his former opponent, Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York, voted against. Presumptive GOP nominee John McCain did not vote."
<http://www.cqpolitics.com/wmspage.cfm?parm1=5&docID=news-000002913130>
I don't know if McCain voted at all today ... on any of the amendments made prior to voting on the bill.
That ought be checked out...
