(11,833 posts)72. Absolutely. And great point about achievability.
I'm looking at all the candidates not only for what they say and propose, but also for what is achievable and for how they can achieve it.
It's one thing to say a lot of stuff and be for a lot of great things. But as you say, the kind of discussion we should be having also should involve how effective they may be in achieving those aims.
I like O'Malley because he's constantly aware of this in terms of substance. It's in his proposals. They are comprehensive and strong proposals.
They also contain within them a clear path to achieving those aims.
