Who to watch in Washington

With the stimulus bill stonewalled in the Senate - I thought this was interesting...

FiveThirtyEight has done some analysis of which members of congress can expect some serious attention from both sides of the aisle:
...the most powerful women in America might be the club of four Republicans in the United States Senate: Olympia Snowe, Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, and Kay Bailey Hutchison.

Nate Silver has logged their (admittedly few) votes thus far and shows that there's reason for the GOP to worry and for the Dems to curry their favor.

Interesting stuff
