a transfer fee cap is needed much more so than a salary cap.

Re: In Which Blogger Boys Discover That Politicians Say a Lot of Things...and Don't Always Do Them

But the fact that he would even write this post suggests that a lot of our young liberal thinkers are having a hard time processing the emerging reality that Barack Obama isn't Progressive Jesus after all.

Hmm, that's a really different read on Ezra's post than I got from it. I don't see where you're getting that he thinks Obama is Progressive Jesus; he's pointing out the irony in the fact that Obama seemed centrist on social issues (which is a point a lot of Hillary fans, myself included, tried to make to little avail to those who were enamored with Obama) and leftist on foreign policy. With his new appointments, it's starting to look more like he's actually centrist on foreign policy and much more leftist on domestic issues. This makes me very happy, as a big part of my vote for Hillary rather than Obama was based on the fact that her health care proposal and rhetoric on gay rights & abortion rights was farther to the left than his was. I'm desperately hoping he continues to move left on those issues.

All the true "Obama is Progressive Jesus" people I ran into on the intertubes emphatically rejected that there was any space to the left of Obama on social issues for Hillary or anyone else to occupy, sometimes having to contort themselves quite a bit to support the claim that he wasn't positioning himself as centrist on domestic issues. One of the reasons I started reading Ezra's blogging during the primary is because he seemed much more reality-grounded when comparing the two candidates than a lot of the other big boys of the blogosphere (I'm looking at you, Kos). He called out Obama for being less progressive on healthcare than Hillary was way back in March.

(Not to nitpick your post; I think your overall point is well-taken, I just think lumping Ezra Klein's post in there is perhaps not quite right.)

I turned off my 3G and have just been using the edge network for the last 24 hours. Dropped calls went to zero today from 10 yesterday.
