The "Author"

clipped from www.redstate.com

Here's a perfect example for you to consider: McCain-Feingold.
The BCRA legislation is famous because of the two principal
sponsors - but did you know there were 41 other co-sponsors in the
Senate alone? They were:


Bayh, Bingaman, Boxer, Cantwell, Carnahan, Carper, Cleland,
Clinton, Cochran, Collins, Corzine, Dayton, Dodd, Dorgan, Durbin,
Edwards, Feingold, Feinstein, Graham, Harkin, Jeffords, Johnson,
Kerry, Kohl, Landrieu, Leahy, Levin, Lieberman, Lincoln, Mikulski,
Miller, Nelson, Reed, Reid, Sarbanes, Schumer, Snowe, Stabenow,
Thompson, Wellstone, and Wyden.


There's no question that Barack Obama has worked to get bills
passed, in the state Senate and in the Senate. But if Hillary
Clinton had claimed during the primary campaign to have "taken the
initiative to reform Washington by authoring McCain-Feingold,"
something tells me Obama would have pounced on that as a vast
exaggeration - which, of course, it would be.
