The Policy Wonk in Action

The man just loves to get into the nitty-gritty of the issues. First, he gives a long explanation of Hillary's plans to make America more energy-independent, saying that she knows that doing so is the "heart and soul of our responsibility," both to increase prosperity and reduce global-warming. Next, he turns to health care, and the reason why her plan, which would cover all Americans one way or another, is superior to Barack Obama's, which doesn't mandate coverage for all people. "Here's the fact," he says. "You can't control the cost of health care, which is doubling, unless you cover everyone." People aren't cheering ecstatically -- some of this stuff is pretty dry -- but they do seem to be listening.
