A New Hope within the Republic?

Yesterday within my estimation was a pretty monumental day thanks to the efforts of Sen. Coburn - despite the defeat that he and others that have been calling for fiscal responsibility suffered at the hands of many of their own. It goes to show that some within the Senatorial governing body actually do care about fiscal responsibility and the conservative idea of limited government.

Mark Tapscott called Coburn a modern day Mr. Smith

Also, as Tapscott opined, this is a step forward for the blogging world as well, as much of this began with the "prokbuster" idea launched by Truth Laid Bare and shows that bloggers can actually have influence.

The "Moment of Clarity" Post at Captian's Quarters is a good summary

This will be a story worth tracking...
