Reply #16: The actual contract is what the Dems spend six months selling...

If the actual contract was shorter, it would box some Democrats into a corner. With it being lengthy, it allows them to pick and choose which areas they wish to highlight in their campaign. The people won't read the entire contract but the Dems can spend the next six months focusing in on these key issues.

The only criticism (if you could call it that) is that I'd probably find better wording for the part about taxing the rich but otherwise, it's about spot on. Besides, if the Dems did adopt this idea, I'm sure it'd be polished before it went to market.
