It's unclear what impact this will have, if any is detectable, on the presidential race. On the one hand, it confirms Hillary's claim to be the kind of Washington insider that can work the levers of power. On the other hand, it confirms the counter-claim that we need to change the game not play it better if we want a sustained progressive movement. Obama, who has built his career around passing legislation to limit the influence of lobbyists while making government more open, accountable and democratic has been pushing that counterargument very effectively. The ranking as a top pork producing Senator certainly will not help Hillary make up her deficit against John McCain, who rightly or wrongly has a good reputation on these kinds of issues, if she somehow makes it to the general election.
