McCain and Obama are not always on opposite sides, nor vote straight party ticket.

Project Vote Smart's Synopsis:

Vote to adopt an amendment that limits the amount of subsidies that a married couple may receive to $250,000 and requires that any individual or entity receiving subsidies must be actively involved in a farming operation to receive subsidies.

NOTE: THIS LEGISLATION NEEDED A THREE-FIFTHS MAJORITY VOTE TO PASS.

Official Title of Legislation:

S Amdt 3695 to S Amdt 3500 to HR 2419: To strengthen payment limitations and direct the savings to increase funding for certain programs.

Link to Legislation: http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d110:samdt3695:

Senate Amendment Vote: 12/13/2007 : Amendment Rejected 56 - 43 (Record Vote Number 424)

Sponsor:
Sen. Dorgan, Byron (D-ND)

Cosponsors:
Sen. Dodd, Christopher (D-CT)
Sen. Feingold, Russell (D-WI)
Sen. Grassley, Charles (R-IA)
Sen. Hagel, Charles (R-NE)
Sen. Harkin, Thomas (D-IA)
Sen. Johnson, Tim (D-SD)

Sen. Menendez, Robert (D-NJ)
Sen. Nelson, E. Benjamin (D-NE)
Sen. Obama, Barack Jr. (D-IL)

It seems that McCain AND Obama were co-sponsors of this bill, which apparently rejected on 12/13/07.
