The WP listings show the legislation's number and description, Allen's vote, the Republican vote and the Democratic vote. Once I get them in Excel, I'm going to categorize them *in light of issues and voter segments in Virginia.*
It's probably going to take me a couple of weeks to finish it in my "spare"
It's also interesting to consider what he *hasn't* voted on: Aid to small farmers, aid to small businesses, support for businesses negatively affected by trade policies
It may turn out to be a wild goose chase, but at least at the end of it, I'll know GA's voting record backwards and forwards.
I've downloaded other material from Vote-Smart and from some other websites, but WP actually lists every vote. I'm hoping to find some interesting tidbits in there that demonstrate the complete betrayal of almost every voting segment in Va. Then I can target my blogs to these people. I'd also like to identify some "wedge" issues for Republicans...the body armor ad is a wonderful example.Comments
