Card Credit Processing Service To underscore his point Mr. Feingold spoke of fund-raising during the Clinton presidency, remembering how fund-raisers were rewarded with stays in the Lincoln Bedroom. He said the Senate had become suspect to voters as it considered legislation affecting industries like tobacco or telecommunications or health care, even while the parties took large contributions from such interests.

Center Credit Service Union He also noted how the collapsed energy trading company Enron had spread donations all across Washington, including more than $3.5 million in soft money since 1991.

Credit Monitoring Service Mr. Daschle has repeatedly threatened to keep the Senate in all-night sessions after Wednesday to overcome any effort to talk the campaign finance bill to death or use parliamentary maneuvers to stall it. But opponents of the bill appeared about ready to give up the fight.

He said opponents might agree to move the test vote up to Tuesday and then have a final vote on the bill after only a few hours of debate.
