Even if any LBO-talk subscriber crafted a good message, the Democratic Party would not adopt and promulgate it, but, regardless, most LBO-talk subscribers appear uninterested in joining the Green Party (where they can conceivably make a measurable difference) or building a new one (if the Green Party withers after the 2004 disaster). It's much more fun to play a Karl Rove or a James Carville! An enterprising game designer should come up with a new game called Spin, in which players get to play dueling Democratic and Republican strategists who try to outdo each other in fundraising, grooming candidates, messaging, designing attack ads, and so on, and sell it here. -- Yoshie
