Via Think Progress: According to a recent Congressional Quarterly analysis of Senate votes on issues President George W. Bush expressed “an explicit, stated opinion," Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) "voted with President Bush 100 percent of the time in 2008 and 95 percent of the time in 2007."
Despite his almost perfect replication of the Bushy Administration's policies, McCain and his campaign insist his presidency would not be "a third Bush term" and the campaign has sought to distance itself from Bush. This photo from early March is the last time the two were seen together in public.
