She's been in the club for a bit longer now, so she's adapting; shedding the bonds of party discipline and the long view for the comfort of friends in the chamber. Democratic goals are being replaced by pewrsonal ones. The most insidious form of corruption, imo.

In today's economy, the pressures of work often interfere with the basic family life of members of the labor force (and, whatever the color of your collar, you are "labor" as long as you have a boss concerned about productivity). This is a development harmful to society.
