This is an article penned by Johnathan Chait, which appeared in New York magazine a couple of days ago. In it, he does a brilliant job of explaining the political mechanics and the tools available to both candidates for implementing their grand vision of America quickly after the election. It's a fascinating read for political junkies and policy wonks.
The premise is simply that this election REALLY IS about the direction this country will take in the future and that BOTH candidates will have the power to completely destroy the other party's macro-policies, their decades-long meme, within a very few months.
It's 6 pages long, so it's not for you sound-bite experts. It's just for those who really WANT to understand what's going on and why.
