...stop talking about “social” issues so that the election could be fought on the bread and butter issues that Democrats have historically won on. But if Democrats want to talk about healthcare, they have to say something worth listening to. Kerry’s poll-tested compromise solution never captured the spotlight. A single payer solution would. Single payer healthcare isn’t an easy issue. Republicans would focus on it because they think they can win by opposing it, confident that the “reciprocal trust between state and nation?...

But voters viscerally blame their petrodependency on the man and the party in charge. In a recent CNN/ Gallup poll, 75% of those surveyed said a President could control oil prices; 71% said this President wasn't doing enough to bring them down...
