I’ve got to give credit to Virginia Sen. Mark Warner for trying to get not only his hands around financial reform but doing it in a bi-partisan fashion.  He and Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.) are organizing sessions with financial leaders to educate themselves and apparently a good number of their colleagues about the financial system and the different ideas for reforming it.

I can’t imagine that it will mean the two will play  major role in the legislation, but if they seed the discussion with informed views maybe it will help.  In any case, it sounds like a novel approach, and I credit him for doing it.
