Ah, your point is understood. Thank you. The NYC mayoral race is a good example too.

At one time I understood why no party can run on common sense in truth, though I forget the argument now. I know parties exist first to win elections, and only secondarily to change things. But I don't see how that stops the Dems from running an extremely 'common-sense-reform' campaign.
