You guys summed it up very well.
I would frame it this way:
A Senator votes for a bill that would provide nutritious school lunches for poor children. It goes to the House and comes back, this time -- with a rider or clause that adds something the Senator has promised to oppose. Now what does he or she do?
Damned if he does, damned if he doesn't.
Sorta like the strawman/paper tiger of "I voted against the war after I voted for it".
Senators and Congressmen can get spun.
But I don't totally buy that Governors can't be spun. They have records too.
All my top choices for President over the years have been sitting senators. Dodd, Kerry, Bradley, Tsongas, Simon, etc...
That's turned out well. @@
