[Enough is ENOUGH]

This was a good post.

What was the info on Hasterts former aid?

...Also says the former aide to ex-leader Hastert is a lobbyist and he is trying to "get something" on at least 40 GOP congressmen so they can peel them off... oh, and Obama is meeting with corporate CEO's tomorrow to put pressure on the GOP, too...

Is he trying to dig dirt on senators to get them to vote a certain way or did I misunderstand it?

That is certainly how it sounded to me, here is the link, it's about half way down the page:

Further, Politico has learned that some prominent Republican lobbyists are targeting about 40 of the remaining moderate or center-right House Republicans on the vote.

“If you can just get some intel on 4-5 of the members and report it back to me, I will try to aggregate the information and get it back to the [White House] and House [Democratic] leadership,” wrote Ralph Hellman in an e-mail Tuesday morning to fellow lobbyists, listing those House Republicans Obama considers in play. Hellman is lobbying in support of the stimulus package for technology companies, but Obama officials say he’s not working with the White House.

Hellman, a former top aide to former Speaker Dennis Hastert, noted in the message that the Republican target list consisted of those who recently voted with Democrats on extending the SCHIP program.Privately, White House aides are playing less nice, warning Republicans what is at stake.
