Damned if I know...
I remember people wanting to stack striker replacement between the
budget (with the EITC) and NAFTA, before health care began. The
arguments I always heard from the White House were that it would be
easier to do striker replacement after health care was won...
I still remember the days when Bill Clinton used to argue that in the
context of rapidly-rising income inequality the Democrats could not
afford to nominate someone as conservative as Paul Tsongas. And I
fell for it.
No more unknown governors from small southern states...
