1. good read

and right on point.

less finesse -- more right to the jaw counter punches.

2. Well, he sources Joe Klein

whose main mission is to display dem weaknesses not heal them. Moving on, I propose that any consultants post their opinions(if they are not real valuable secrets) here at DU so we can present an alternate view, before massaging the minds of the candidates with real smart fatal errors.

That is not so much a matter of overweening pride here, but a healthy gamut of real thought to break out of the small patterns of big mistakes.

Unless they like settling for post election blues and Joe Klein telling you what you did wrong in hindsight. Lack of confidence and job worries can't be helping the consultant profession see clearly nowadays.

How about foresight for a change? How about consulting in a wider field of better or lesser minds?

3. I left an anonymous comment on the blog

Laying out where I think the article is right and where it is wrong. A thoght-prokoing piece, but it misses some points.

And it states that Americans don't care about issues....I reject that notion.
