I never before understood how it was that Congress could be getting involved in all this- so thanks for some good info there.

That said, I have to agree that it just flat out looks bad to be having all these hearings. I am sure they are doing other work too which is far less interesting for the news stations to cover- and so from that standpoint the sheer news coverage is going to make it look like this is all Congress is doing. But it still does not look good to the average person who is worried about more important matters to their own life.

Srmom- I have heard your comment many times about Congress and baseball as these hearings continue. On that basis I get the feeling it is taking on a bit of a symbolic level of importance in the minds of at least some voters.

One thing about this coming election true for both parties is that the candidate who promises to offer change in some manner (Obama as a fresh face, McCain as someone who can play nice with Democrats) is who is gaining momentum.

And I do believe that in at least some small way, things like Congress investigating baseball impact that.
