The Hill has kept count of the endorsements for each candidate from Congress since the primary started.
I find it interesting that Romney, a DC outsider has more endorsements from sitting congressmen than McCain does, where he’s spent the last how many years? Romney’s endorsers are more conservative, McCain’s more liberal, except Tom Coburn....I’ll never figure that one out.

“McCain’s more liberal, except Tom Coburn....I’ll never figure that one out.”
I can answer that. Tom Coburn is dead set against Pork. That is crucial to him and the main reason he ran for the Senate. McCain is against pork also. There is where they meet.
I was still living in OK with Dr. Coburn was elected, I helped elect him.
To the person that is asking who to vote for, it has to be your choice don’t let others HERE influence you. They are not smarter or wiser than you, and they ALL have agendas - me too - that is why I’m not going to tell you whom you should vote for or against.
