Health care reform suffered the torments of partisan obstruction. Now gird yourself for financial reform and the perils of bipartisan blight.
In health care, lockstep Republican opposition caused months of delay, and empowered the likes of Connecticut&#8217;s embittered Senator Joe Lieberman and Nebraska&#8217;s compromised Ben Nelson to exact [...]]]></description>
