U.S. Senate candidate Jim Slattery today released a list of his clients from his years as a Washington lobbyist.
The Democrat, who is challenging two-term incumbent Republican Pat Roberts, has worked as a lobbyist and lawyer since he left Congress in 1995. Slattery formerly was Kansas' 2nd District congressman.
A spokeswoman said Slattery would soon be releasing a digest of what he did for each client.

I honestly have no idea who or what this is, but I'm guessing that one will immediately draw the opp research folks.
Slattery is trying to put the lobbyist thing behind him by dumping the dirt all at once (although why not on a Friday?).
But all team Roberts needs to do is find a favor or a something anti-KS and hold it until they make an ad. I think Slattery has the wrong occupation for this type of anti-Washington year.
