Of course there are going to be a few Democrats in the parade of guilty pleas, but few and far between, thanks to Tom DeLay, who refused to do business with any lobbying firm that helped Democrats and insisted that the spoils be shared only within the GOP.

And the list is going to get longer, because the GOP is no longer in the position to block the investigations of things like the "rebuilding of Iraq".
So get ready for a steady stream of uncovered GOP corruption, with the occasional allegation against a Democrat popping up.

It will be interesting to see whether the dems take a leaf out of delay's book and employ the same tactics with K street that he did. Denying your opponents access to all that cash must be a very attractive proposition. I'm also waiting to see whether dems at the state level will employ gerrymandering as blatantly as republicans have recently in order to make their congressional seats safer. Of course the mot egregious examples were in texas and I don't know if dems will ever be in a position of power there again no matter how the party fares in national elections.
