...Republicans, year after year, have shown themselves inept at both. It's not about whose ideas are better, it's about who presents them better, and who can come out of the scrap smelling like a rose. Tom DeLay started down the road to p.r. disaster a month ago, when the super-whip promised to spend so much that Clinton would have to negotiate "on his knees" to avoid dipping into the Social Security pool for his own programs.

Not so many years ago, money-hungry doctors were seen as plundering American wallets, and Democrat-friendly HMOs were perceived as the last line of defense for the poor and the working-class.
