#1 That is a debate throwdown I would have loved to have seen. Better than Kirk vs Picard.

#2 > American democracy has never been democracy by plebiscite, a process by which a leader is anointed, then the populace steps out of the way, and the anointed one puts his political program in place.

Maybe not American Democracy, but your constitution was done in exactly this way. Luckily by people that understood The Common Law and the Magna Carter otherwise it could have gone HORRIBLY wrong (see the EU "constitution").

#5 President Reagan's first term was rough economically, but there was public confidence and incremental growth. In the last term there was an entrepreneurial dynamo at work. Low-tax schemes - vs Keynesian money burning - take time to work, but there is enough data to afford a claim that they work.

This Fall, there will be a bi-partisan effort for low-tax public administration. BHO will have to follow.
