Impatient on Healthcare

TIME ENOUGH

It seems to me that quite a few are impatient on healthcare and impatient with the White House.

Legislative change of this size isn't likely to come via a back-room deal and isn't going to happen in the space of four or eight weeks. It alarms me that Alexrod thinks this is the "ninth inning".

If one had to guess, it would be 10% inspiration and 90% perspiration. Afterall, 'health' is a fairly 'technical sale', so there has to be time spent for the details to get known and widely disseminated, and so forth.

BIDEN YOUR TIME

I like the idea of Joe Biden talking about the plan details, ahead of the President.

Bush did well with Cheney testing the waters with various messages and so forth, before he stepped in.

It's a clever way to protect the Legislator in Chief and fine-tune the approach, before the big guns are called out.
