The NYT had an interesting passage regarding Senator Daschle's convention speech in an op-ed headlined "A Show Called Hope." Excerpt:
On Tuesday night there was the Senate minority leader, Tom Daschle, on the podium saying - I wrote it down - "Americans aren't asking for special deals from Washington!" That giant snorting sound you heard was a year's worth of California chardonnay being expelled from the nasal passages of 15,000 K Street lobbyists.
Daschle, of course, is quite familiar with K Street lobbyists, as he's married to one of the most influential lobbyists in Washington. No one can seriously doubt that her influence is a function of her relationship with "Mr. Democrat."
