Most of those present votes were done to provide leadership for the Democratic caucus in the Illinois State legislature.
As for McCain, he has missed ever major vote in the United States Senate since he began running for the White House, including FISA, funding the troops, the health care bill that even Teddy Kennedy came back to vote on. Voting record is not something McCain can really push.
