It would be nice if we could get back to "what's the issue and how do we solve it?" and drop all the "what's our party's official media position on the issue and have we chosen our talking points yet?", but I fear those days may be gone for good.<BR/><BR/>I think cable news is partly to blame for making talk more important than analysis and action. Image has trumped intelligence, and we're all the poorer for it.ripleyhttp://www.zencabin.comnoreply@blogger.com
