So in short, selling across state lines can work, but only if we regulate it.

Reasonable enough…

I know…but alas it was “too extreme” for Dems to consider the idea and work with Repubs to enact it. If the Dems would have done more of that, they could have peeled of at least Snowe and Collins, possibly a few others.

Their large majorities, however, emboldened the far left in the House to pass a bill that could never pass in the Senate—even a filibuster proof one. Clinton was pretty good with a Republican house/senate. I think Obama could be a pragmatic, if more left leaning, president as well.
