I don't think there's been a flip on campaign finance reform. The filibuster, OTOH, is one of those things that's always going to piss off whoever's in power enough to seriously consider trying to change the Senate rules to remove it, and then they realize once the other guys take power that, hey, this ain't so bad after all.
It's the old saw about "never give yourself power you don't want your opponents to have and use."
