They covered many subjects, including the rise in partisanship in the House, the political moderates' struggle to influence policy, intra-party battles over environmental legislation, the vote to authorize the use of force in Iraq, battles over the Bush administration's use of scientific data, Congress's image, the role of lobbyists and more.
