I’m a “conditional” Bachmann fan — she hasn’t shown enough in the way of policy ideas to get as clear a reading as from Sarah Palin. This is one of the beautiful issues that Americans will need to sort out heading into 2012. Do they want a president who will be a bit cagy when someone is trying to trap him/her, or one who tweets her mind damn the torpedoes? Reagan was more on the cagy side, if I recall correctly. Just saying.
You do not recall correctly. Reagan made the best speech ever on health care. Go listen to it, I think levin still has it.
