Also, Obama voted in line with fellow Senate Democrats 97 percent of the time in 2007 and 2005, and 96 percent of the time in 2006, according to CQ.

I agree the "fact" is vague, but Obama has more consistently voted along party lines than McCain.
Re McCain:

The claim is true. According to Congressional Quarterly's Voting Studies, in 2007 McCain voted in line with the president's position 95 percent of the time – the highest percentage rate for McCain since Bush took office – and voted in line with his party 90 percent of the time. However, McCain's support of President Bush's position has been as low as 77 percent (in 2005), and his support for his party's position has been as low as 67 percent (2001).

I didn't realize #105 was arguable? Hillary was on Obama's short list? According to who? I don't even think she was vetted in any way,
AFAIK.
I think I understood most of the speech and prefer not to engage in silliness with you.
Let's stick to facts we can try to verify.
Best,
