Ezra Klein at Pandagon has this thread nominating Democrats for a "shadow government" to keep a running commentary on/challenge to the Bushistas going. Real interesting discussion, though they insist on positions in the shadow government paralleling those we officially acknowledge in the Federal government. The Republican "shadow government" is more like HYDRA.
I like the idea, and wouldn't restrict its existence to election year. And when the Republicans lose I wouldn't object to their bringing their shadow government into the light.
P6 the shadow cabinet blog is catching fire already, a hot topic... more input here is needed...what is your take on it?
Honestly my take is limited to it being a good idea. I don't sweat the details of who, specifically, should counter which specific cabinet member.
