Set aside the fact that "rational" analysis isn't really enough when formulating policy -- it also requires not only number-crunching but a realistic understanding of history and the human character and human condition. What's more arresting is the apparent implication of the argument that Broder presents: Wouldn't it follow that big picture liberals like Obama would be more comfortable with a more authoritarian (maybe even totalitarian) form of government?
