Answer from: U.S. Sen. Jon L. Kyl (R-AZ)

Most of the votes – because he is very careful about this – that the Senator has missed, are not those kind of critical, his vote – in fact I don’t think his vote makes a difference on anything, has made the difference on anything that anyone would consider substantial. [editor's note: Sen. Kyl is referring to colleague Sen. John McCain.]
