There are several FoPo types on the democratic side who have good ideas and a vision. And they claim it doesn’t matter actually who is president because some of these factors are so self-evident that an administration on either side would pay attention to them.

And they’re probably right — at least, it shouldn’t matter. That’s the point of having a professional bureaucracy: keep the experts notwithstanding party affiliation.

Of course, that’s another reason to suspect that Barnett supports Kerry for reasons of ambition, not convictin.

(BTW, love the Siamese picture.)
