Comprehensive list of all Senate votes which Barack and John disagreed on:
I think the list is very telling and allows you see a clear difference between the candidates. You can click on the bills to view details about the bill, and what it was for.
Bear in mind, the title of the bill very often is "loaded", and is can be quite the opposite of what the bills effect will be. (Help America Vote is one that comes to mind). So you should at least glance at the bill if it looks interesting to you. Links are provided.
