I am just reading the second in a series of biographies of Theodore Roosevelt, and am finding the accounts of legislative deals and such, including the buying and selling of votes on bills, fascinating, and people voting for or against a bill "on principle" when they knew that their vote was not going to have any effect on the outcome.
