I was gonna say "good sense?"...

Honestly, other than Gates, most folk in this administration wouldn't know good policy if you rolled it up and beat them senseless with it.

But then you're against "popularism" when it doesn't go your way too.

Who isn't?

I'm just enjoying the irony of watching those who are traditionally enthusiastic about the "democratic voice of the common man" dancing sideways when that voice isn't saying what they want.

Odd, polls find that the solid majority of that "conservative populace" still think Obama's got us headed in the right direction, and his approval numbers are still quite high.

So where exactly IS this "solid majority" who AREN'T supporting his policies?
