John; more moderate policy proposals It's not necessarily more moderate - it is just more pragmatic. Bring them (republicans)into the process and you are more likely to get something that includes input from both sides. This can be a dramtic as you like as long as its not something shoved down the losers throats. Isn't this part of what Obama promised? For each side to work towards the common good of America? Then if the opposition was part of the process they can't come out in two years and use the legislation against the democrats. Well some will anyway, but of course it will be much less effective. Like the Iraq war; it was hard and took a looooooooong time for moderates to make any meaningful case against the war - because they voted for it. IOW, do what Bush did on the war, not what Clinton did with health care. steve
