All three defeated members of Congress were members of Appropriations Committees — Republican Senator Bob Bennett of Utah, Republican-turned-Democratic Senator Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania and Democratic Congressman Alan Mollohan of West Virginia. All based much of their political appeal on their ability to get money for their states or districts, and for national causes as well.

Additional evidence: the decision of House Appropriations Chairman David Obey to retire after 41 years in Congress.
