Yes, there is a lot of hesitation on the other side of the aisle. On my side of the aisle, I don't think there's an absolute majority of all the senators who are labelled “Conservative”. But I'm treated with respect. I'm not vilified. I don't feel that the others on the other side of the aisle are my enemies or anything like that. I feel quite comfortable, at least at this point. If I get too successful, my popularity won't continue.
I think one thing that everyone worries about is that elected senators will somehow come prancing in there and say, “We're elected, and you guys are nothing.” I don't think you're going to see that happen.
