...Still, if the Democrats want this election to be about national renewal, about big ideas like energy independence and a rollback of militarism abroad, they are going to have to be truthful and precise. They haven't been on NAFTA, the relatively peripheral trade deal that both Clinton and Obama-formerly equivocal supporters-have made the symbol for the loss of manufacturing jobs. But shutting off free trade won't heal Ohio. Aggressive government action might. That is real change on the horizon, the real choice this year...

Its significant efforts to subsidize and provide and universal access to all Americans is unparalleled in the Democratic field, and, perhaps, represents the most pragmatic solution.While all the major Democratic candidates propose changes in the tax code that will work to rollback tax cuts instituted by President George W.

Defense Secretary Robert Gates and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice were both Russia experts at George H. W. Bush's National Security Council, and pursued...
...much of the democratic foreign policy establishment, that's still the prism--look at Obama's push for U.N. or even NATO intervention in Darfur, or Edwards' tough talk about Vladimir Putin's rollback of democracy in Russia. Blairism, at its heart, is optimistic. It assumes that the U.S., working with its allies, can make other countries freer, healthier and richer. It assumes those countries will generally want our help. Above all, it assumes that the key to U.S. security is building a world that looks more like us. Blairism may be less militaristic than neoconservatism, but it's still...
