Voinovich is a good-government guy. He is an ally with us on a number of issues.

Part of what the K Street Project was about was making lobbyists indispensable to Congress because of the money they were raising.

Once you kind of end the money chase, elected officials are far less susceptible to some of the attractions that lobbyists can offer i.e. travel, food, gifts, campaign contributions. Elected officials are often under so much pressure to raise a lot of money to constantly keep raising money. That's why they have these close ties with lobbyists. Lobbyists help them raise money.

Society and Saint Mary's have both moved forward, but we are still behind.

Just a flood of money turned the tide for some people who probably were close to being beat.
