I don’t know if there is anything that Steve and Cokie Roberts have ever said or written that I would use as political advice. And, even though I kind of agree with them about Ben Nelson, I think their overall analysis is flawed. It doesn’t matter how people self-identify (liberal, moderate, conservative) so much as how people feel about issues. People don’t like health insurance companies and they don’t like pharmaceutical companies and they don’t like paying high prices for medical care and prescription drugs. Therefore, there isn’t some ‘moderate’ center-right consensus on how to reform health care. Most of the ‘moderate’ politicians are from poor districts and they raise money from corporate interests to finance their campaigns. There is nothing conservative about getting butt-raped by Cigna.
