Republicans Getting More Campaign Cash From Wall Street

Yet another vote to move financial reform forward in the Senate failed on Tuesday, when lawmakers voted 57-41 to block debate on Sen. Chris Dodd's bill.

For the second day in a row, Senate Republicans uniformly voted to block the bill. They were joined by a single Democrat, Sen. Ben Nelson of Nebraska.

(Nelson, as we've noted, had advocated for a derivatives exemption pushed by one of his top campaign donors, Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway. That exemption will apparently not go into the Senate bill.)

But what do Republicans stand to gain from their opposition to the bill?
