It doesn't really matter. Anywhere but here. It just seems like they've all had enough. Everyone seems to be simply going through the motions, with no real sense of urgency about anything. Don't get me wrong.
Members still trudge to the floor for votes.
Still attend committee hearings. Still carve out some last-minute goodies for the fine folk back home. Lobbyists still work the steps and hallways trying to get in some last whacks. Of course, a big part of this has to do with the fact that we are in the final stages of a presidential campaign. Interest in presidential politics trumps anything taking place here on the Hill.
