Hot For Daschle
ByEzra Klein is ecstatic:
You don't tap the former Senate Majority Leader to run your health care bureaucracy. That's not his skill set. You tap him to get your health care plan through Congress. You tap him because he understands the parliamentary tricks and has a deep knowledge of the ideologies and incentives of the relevant players. You tap him because you understand that health care reform runs through the Senate. And he accepts because he has been assured that you mean to attempt health care reform.
Jonathan Cohn is also excited. I find the idea of getting excited by Tom Daschle a little esoteric myself. But the liberals won this one. They get to have their thrill in whatever unlikely form it takes.
