Why did DWS just co-sponsor the bill to help payday lenders?

After all, it really doesn't mean anything in terms of getting the bill passed. It's not like DWS's vote in the House is necessary - there's plenty of Republicans to advance the bill.

So why'd she do it? Because now Clinton will come out against the bill.

Clinton will trumpet this to try and claim she is not a pro-big-money, pro-establishment candidate. "See! I even oppose what the DNC chair is doing!!"
