It's a strange world we're in. The party of rugged individuality values loyalty and conformity above all. The party of the common good can't organize itself to pass legislation when they've got a whopper of a majority.

What we got wasn't health care reform, it was health insurance reform. The Democrats who are running this election cycle need to start getting real people who will benefit from this insurance reform (small business owners, the self-employed, folks with preexisting conditions and running against lifetime caps) to start doing campaign ads for them and turn it into a positive.
