MSNBC on Kucinich Voting Record

"his career voting-attendance record is 97 percent — which would earn him an "A" on any test... it's worth noting that of the ten presidential contenders — Democrat and Republican — who currently serve in Congress, Kucinich has the highest voting record so far this year, followed closely by only Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y. And although frequent-voting members like Clinton have private planes that can shuttle them to campaign events between votes, Kucinich's record is much better than other non-frontrunners like Reps. Tom Tancredo, R-Colo., and Duncan Hunter, R-Calif., who have missed 16 percent and 31 percent of House votes, respectively."By Andrew Merten, Political Unit, NBC News, June 29, 2007
