Ah, the clarity of the moment before the blade falls. We'll turn the media into the press agents of universal care. Hillary will hold weeks of public meetings to plumb the intricacies of health-care reform. When tradeoffs have to be made, the public will hear the arguments. Cokie Roberts will do her worst to take the mind out of this.
Some subjects are necessarily so complex, however, as to repel vacuity.
Tell them you can't build a new majority on dust. Politics is the sun of government. That's an easy call. The Republicans can't paint me as anti-business if I do free trade. They'll get something for it.
