I also believe due to its location, that the DC capitol and the federal decison making process is permeated by Tradtionalistic Maryland/Virginia poltical cultures, that makes legislation/change slow and very incremental, for other states nationwide. Washington reigns in the other states who want more agressive change, by perpetuating and imposing this formal, old fashioned, MD/VA way of doing things onto Congressional procedures affecting all Americans.

Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton as they duke it out for the Democratic presidential nomination. The two campaigns really provide a marked contrast in terms of how they view the engagement of small donors -- and even non-donors -- on the internet and how that has been reflected in their fundraising numbers.
