An Open Government Caucus?
A recent CQ.com article ($) highlights the success of passing the Coburn-Obama transparency bill and speculates on what the next step might be for the two senators:
Because Coburn and Obama, senators with vastly different ideological bases, worked together on the database bill, some bloggers hope they will combine forces for similar legislation. They would like to see them form a type of Open Government Caucus that would provide inspiration all along the political spectrum. “I’d love to see it happen,” [Heritage Foundation Director of the Center for Media and Public Policy Tim] Chapman said. “Because I think they’d have a whole chorus of bloggers at their backs that would echo everything they’re trying to do.”
I like the sound of that.
