But who believes statistics?

When the White House took a position on a bill in 2005-06, all nine of Alabama's congressmen voted that way more than half the time. Unsurprisingly, U.S. Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., sided with President Bush the most, breaking with him on only 4.23 percent of votes. Even the presumably most liberal member of the state's delegation, U.S. Rep. Artur Davis, D-Birmingham, backed Bush's position 54.76 percent of the time.
