Seems to me that Hillary and Obama are playing right now...investing their efforts into 08 while Kerry is still the only one still working. (Of course Edwards has nothing to do but campaign..so he's just the lucky one who gets to play as his job.)

Does anyone have a list of the work that Hillary and Obama have done since Nov. 08, 2006? And a list of Jk's to compare it to?

1. Obama was the sponsor of what appears to be

one of the most significant amendments to the Ethics Bill - that eliminates bundling where a lobbyist brings a large number of checks from friends etc, all under the legal limit. Look at the expresion on Schumer's face. (Note - I saw nothing on DU-P on this, which is sad in that itshows the Obama people are not looking at what he is doing.)

The other thing is that they each have staff. The staff do most of the work - led by the Senator. (How else could Jeffy Sessions do anything?) Watching CSPAN of the committees is so illuminating in this reguard - some of the Seantors seem lost when not reading questions or comments. (A certain tall one does real well with no notes :) )

3. It is sad. Apparently their support is not derived from what he does. n/t
