Isn't it always that way?

I just think the term "conflict of interests" is often misapplied to it. I'm not saying it is a good thing, but I do believe the law has removed anything that could be called a "conflict of interests" in lobbying.

You could say, "Well, I'd prefer an ignorant Senator Obama to an infomed Senator McCain". That is, effectively, what CJ is saying.
