The right will always be demonizing someone on the left. It is what you do when you have no positive proposals of your own. I remember when Ted Kennedy was their favorite bogeyman. I'm just amazed at how gullible their voters are that they are still willing to bite on "they're a bunch of socialists".

I want health care too. I want a well designed policy crafted by experts who understand the issues and the cost curves and the incentives and who have crafted things that work. If that's what you want, then we need Democratic politicians who understand how to message around things other than health-care wonkery, to win over the voters whose voting is not shaped most by their policy preferences.
