After the election I wrote about the need for the Democrats to accept that one reason they lost the election was the paucity of ideas emerging from their camp. Several readers and fellow bloggers wrote in with pointers and comments, plus the debate in comments on that post was extraordinary.
One point my colleague Joan Walsh makes — which I’m hoping she’ll elaborate on in a piece she’s now writing — is that the Democrats have plenty of think tanks and plenty of ideas, but there seems to be a problem getting the ideas into the mouths and heads of the party’s leaders.
The One True Bix points to this article from The Hill about Democratic think tanks.
Dave Johnson wrote in to recommend the new Web site of the Commonweal Institute.
Several people wrote in to point to the Apple “Switch” ad parody at Working for Change. Clever as it is, it feels rather more desperate than funny to me.
