Deliberately ignoring the will of the people, from Connecticut and otherwise, Senate votes to keep one of their favorite backwashers.
Nothing changes in Washington. If it does, it's glacial.
The Ruling Class never fails to demoralize the base. Well, almost never. It may be different, this time - people may take it as a signal that the earmarking and the backwashing need to come to light, in order to end.
Put another way, this may be one watershed to push Obama to put his good-governance goals a little bit higher on an already crowded agenda. After reflection, you see that there may be a very, very strong case for it.
