Hopefully Obama doesn't campaign for this Democrat

Especially if Obama is serious about eliminating lobbyist influence from politics:

After spending more than a decade in Washington making millions of dollars at one of the nation's most prestigious law firms, the former Democratic congressman from Topeka is jumping back into the political arena in a bid to unseat Sen. Pat Roberts , R-Kan.

Roberts' campaign has already gone after Slattery with radio ads calling him a "Gucci loafers  and all" lobbyist who's out of touch with voters.

People like that who go to and from K-Street have no business returning to the public arena.  Who are they serving?  Their Firm?  The American public?
