Crowd control

I make fun of the Toledo Blade a lot (I know, I know; I shouldn’t pick on such easy targets.) I usually get irked by the contents of the Sunday op-ed page (particularly Marilou Johanek, who gives every impression of being a leftover Amerika-hater from the 70s), but I saw something there yesterday that I liked: this article by Ann McFeatters makes a number of good points, not the least of which is that the Democrat field for President is too crowded. Rather than beat that dead horse, though, let’s focus on another point. McFeatters says “Democrats need to offer a clear choice with a compelling message to get them over the hump of more voters now identifying as Republicans.” So far, the clearest message I’ve heard comes from Ho Ho, and it loosely translates to “Send lots and lots of money”.
