John McCain ranked most conservative senator in 2010

Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), who was labeled a moderate during his presidential campaign, had one of the most conservative 2010 voting records in the Senate, according to the National Journal.

After reviewing all 96 votes taken in the Senate in 2010, the magazine found that McCain was tied with seven of his colleagues for the largest number of conservative votes taken. He tied with well-known staunch conservatives like Republican Sens. Jim DeMint of South Carolina and John Barrasso of Wyoming. McCain even took more conservative votes than other senators known for their conservatism, like Sens. Tom Coburn of Oklahoma or Jeff Sessions of Alabama.

His record reveals a shift in McCain's relative ideology, according to the National Journal. From 2002 to 2006, McCain was in the middle of the pack -- ranked between the 44th and 49th-most conservative senator, based on his votes. His past voting records only came close to being this conservative once, the magazine reports -- in 1994, when he was the eighth-most conservative.

Hi,

Well I guess he will not run for president again so he is not quite so worried about his record and appearing to be in the middle.  Maybe he is listening.

He about lost his butt in the last primary so give the guy credit.  Let's hope it continues.

regards,

PS:  I would still have a hard time voting for him.

Pure comedy plus when Obama mentions his name, I don't whether he is going to pee in his pants or his face will crack from that ear to ear grin.

Well, he was in a pretty tough primary fight and the entire country - especially in Arizona - has shifted rightward, but this is a good example of how statistics can be misleading or even deceptive. His wife and chubby daughter sure aren't so conservative.

Just to much. This shows how bad the media is. It also says how bad the Senate is if he truly is the most conservative senator in 2010.

He was openly in favor of cap-'n'-trade and insanely uneconomic green energy BS in his campaign a mere two years ago.
