Meet the new boss...

The corporate class sees the writing on the wall:

Washington lobbying firms, trade associations and corporate offices are moving to hire more well-connected Democrats in response to rising prospects that the opposition party will wrest control of at least one chamber of Congress from Republicans in the November elections.

In what lobbyists are calling a harbinger of possible upheaval on Capitol Hill, many who make a living influencing government have gone from mostly shunning Democrats to aggressively recruiting them as lobbyists over the past six months or so.

En garde, kiddies. If we're going to be working to get the Dems into office, we're going to have to work doubly hard to make sure they're responsive to the people and not the corporations once they're elected. It's been a free-for-all for the rich for the last 5 and a half years, and they're not going to be thrown out of the party without a fight.
