Reply #6: Cogent, succinct explaination of candidates on health care [View All]

Your posting is exactly what we need more of during our "democratic" campaigns. Real discussion of the differences between the candidates on the issues in easily understandable language.

Would that this kind of approach to our political campaigns be the norm rather than "like-ability" questions and media choosing a few candidates to promote.

I'm a fan of Krugman too - as well as a John Edwards supporter. Why Edwards? Because I believe he's running to change the playing field on behalf of regular people - be they poor, working class, middle class, professionals, etc. Not all politicians have that as their mission. And I think he's smart enough, tough enough, and passionate enough to make a difference.
