"Ethical" isn't going to get Grampa into the WH.

It's all about appearances - The lobbyists and other sleaze bags associated with the McInsane campaign will make a huge public show of resigning whatever conflict-of-interest positions they may currently hold, but that's not going to keep them off the phone to their "former" associates. At best they may put their other jobs on hold until after the campaign is over, but don't count on it.

McSame seems to have most of K street working on his campaign and, if they all, for real, stopped lobbying, DC would grind to a halt and half the restaurants, bars, golf courses, whorehouses, cigar stores, strip clubs, etc... will shut down for lack of business. It would cause a wave of unemployment in DC unlike anything we've ever seen.
