lockstep and barrel

[Michael Covarrubias]

i think i just heard christine o'donnell, in the delaware senate debate, say of her opponent chris coons, that he has been supporting obama's and pelosi's policies "lockstep and barrel."

a nice eggcorn?/blend that makes the "barrell" part hard to analyze.
