If you've been paying attention to politics for any length of time you've probably noticed that there are several different types of elected officials. Not just in terms of partisanship or ideology, but in the sense of how active or vocal they are.
If you've ever done any lobbying, you've noticed a difference in how reliable they are in terms of their vote and how hard you have to work to nail them down.
Here's a shorthand way to categorize elected officials:
Hopeless:
These are the guys (and gals) that are so far on the other side of the street that you can forget about wasting the time even thinking about getting them on board with anything you support. Pretty much all liberals will fit into this category. High Maintenance:
These are officials you have to constantly watch and check in with on virtually every issue. Whether it's because they are constantly trying to make everyone happy, have their fingers in the wind, or are just more concerned about themselves, you end up spending a lot of time chasing them and bringing pressure on them to make sure they vote right when the time comes. And even then sometimes you come up short. Low Maintenance:
They're not completely reliable, but it doesn't take as much time or pressure to bring them around. But the point is that they still require some time and effort.

That third bullet to the head seems gratuitous, gunner. Someone from the family is going to have to identify him.
