CLINTON WAS SEEN AS PARTICULARLY EFFECTIVE AT JUGGLING HER OBLIGATIONS AS A CANDIDATE AND SENATOR USA Today: “Among The Six Senators Running For President, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton Has Emerged As The Juggler Supreme.” “Among the six senators running for president, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton has emerged as the juggler supreme. She's kept up an ambitious travel schedule that often exceeds most of her rivals by relying on a highly organized campaign that orchestrates events designed to maximize her exposure. At the same time, she has remained in the nation's capital for important Senate floor votes and used the Washington media spotlight to criticize the policies of an unpopular Republican president.” [USA Today, 10/4/07] USA Today: Despite An “Ambitious Travel Schedule That Often Exceeds Most Of Her Rivals,” Clinton “Has Remained In The Nation’s Capital For Important Senate Floor Votes.” “[Hillary Clinton has] kept up an ambitious travel schedule that often exceeds most of her rivals by relying on a highly organized campaign that orchestrates events designed to maximize her exposure. At the same time, she has remained in the nation's capital for important Senate floor votes and used the Washington media spotlight to criticize the policies of an unpopular Republican president.” [USA Today, 10/4/07] USA Today: “In The First Nine Months Of” 2007, Clinton “Missed Only 32 Of 357 Votes… Significantly Fewer Missed Votes Than Her Five Colleagues Running For President.” “In fact, in the first nine months of [2007] — dating back to a Jan. 8 resolution honoring the late President Gerald Ford — New York's junior senator missed only 32 of 357 votes, or about 9%, according to Gannett News Service research. That's significantly fewer missed votes than her five colleagues running for president, although among the 100 members she ranked 10th for most absences.” [USA Today, 10/4/07] MARCO RUBIO SAID THAT MISSING SENATE VOTES WAS INEVITABLE FOR PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES Marco Rubio: “Unfortunately, One Of The Things That Happens When You Decide To Run For Something Like President Is It Does Force You To Miss Some Time In The U.S. Senate.” “DMR: You missed the recent vote on the Keystone XL pipeline because you were doing some fundraising…Would a presidential bid hurt your U.S. Senate work? RUBIO: That's always a challenge. Obviously, if that vote had been in dispute, if there had been any question about whether we had sufficient votes to pass it, I certainly would have returned and cast that decisive vote. Knowing that we had more than enough support to get it done, unfortunately, one of the things that happens when you decide to run for something like president is it does force you to miss some time in the U.S. Senate...Some of my colleagues that are thinking of running will have to make those choices fairly soon, as well.” [Des Moines Register, 2/12/15]
