Nice Work If You Can Get It--Who Missed the Most Votes?

In this 110th session of Congress, as you would imagine, some folks have been AWOL in showing up for votes. First, here are the average missed votes both in the House and Senate, then the "No Shows" for the candidates running for President. Obviously for the Governors and those currently not in office, they have a decided advantage in the court of public opinion, still, it is fair to ask elected representatives to represent. Imagine if you missed this much time on your job?
