Here are some pics from the LBJ room in the US Capitol.  We did our interview the other day with Senator Kyl in the room.  This is where the minority party - the Republicans - caucus (meaning meet.)

This is how it is done - whether you like it or not!

Below is a quote from an article (and the link to the complete article) that shows how the sausage is made in the US Senate.  It is not pretty.
