The Democrats are winning the PR war on SS. They were winning even before Reid, Clinton, Shumer, Kerry, Lautenberg et al went out with a great presentation where each had their part, all spoke well and passionately about what SS was, why it's important, how there is no crisis and why Bush's plan is wrong. The NY panel was great, all of the Democrats went out of their way to compliment each other. Their seemed to be a real sense of camaraderie. (At the end when the Democrats were talking to each other, but there was no audio, Kerry was pleasantly talking to Reid, Clinton and Lautenberg - judging from facial expressions.)

This piece of 2 week old gossip, which seems over blown on the surface, seems designed to do three things.
- Change the subject from all the reasons why Bush's plan is bad
- Create dissension between different factions of the Democratic party.
- Attack 2 people who have gotten good press over the last week.
