It is good to see that despite the potentially intense partisan battle Senators McCain and Obama face over the next few months, they are reportedly co-sponsoring new legislation designed to increase transparency and enforce good governance.  According to The Hill, http://hill6.thehill.com/leading-the-news/rivals-obama-and-mccain-work-together-behind-scenes-2008-06-04.html :


The back and forth between the Obama and McCain offices illustrates the importance of good government issues to both presidential contenders, who have each tried to portray themselves as crusaders against Washington lobbyists and special interests. 

...

“There’s probably a lot of issues that Sen. Obama and Sen. McCain disagree on, but there are important things that they agree on and this is one of them,” Carper said. “If there is a contest on who is going to be the king of transparency, that’s a good development.”

So,  if the presumptive presidential candidates can come together on an issue encouraging transparency and good governance, maybe this is something the public considers a good idea?
