We have nobody else going in the right direction in a big way.

My wife was watching a DVD about the Constitutional Convention yesterday, sort of fired up about these ideas. It showed how James Madison, while brilliant, was stymied until George Washington arrived. GW was like a rock star in those days, the only world-wide celebrity. When he took over as pres. of the convention, people were able to get down to work.

RP's no GW, but he's drawing attention to the philosophy, no question about it, and getting support. So in that way there's a similarity.

With a few exceptions...
