Bummer when my favorite newspaper starts shilling for statism.

Any time you can successfully remove a weapon from your opponent's arsenal is a victory. I sincerely doubt that this Rx legislation will even resemble its current form when it actually goes into effect two and a half years from now. The real victory was political. First, you've got a lot of Dems on record voting against prescription drug benefits. There's the root of many a GOP campaign ad. Second, they no longer have the issue to claim as their own. Ted Kennedy is just about the only Dem that can rail against it and suffer no ill effects at the ballot box. Prescription drug bennies? Yeah, we did that already.
What Dubya is doing is serving to further fracture the loony Dem coalition of disparate interests to the point where they really have NO common issue to unite them, other than a huge animosity against (1) Dubya and (2) the party that completely removed them from power. And that's not good for winning any election.
