president...

Fine, but how do you do that when your standard-bearer has all the wrong ideas? -- debt elimination, welfare reform, and "free" trade? Even if you put trade aside, debt elimination paralyzes the budget, and that paralyzes regulation (no money for regulators). Welfare reform stops every conversation about social policy or poverty reduction. Labor law reform isn't even on the radar screen.
