Can we draw the following hypothesis from the context (see options)? 

Context:

But Washington is a tough town. And the way I view it is there's a lot of entrenched special interests there, people who are, you know, on one side of the issue or another and they spend enormous sums of money and they convince different senators to taut their way or different congressmen to talk about their issue, and they dig in.

Hypothesis: Special interests groups make Washington a tough town.
