To be perfectly honest, I don't read Josh Marshall's Talking Points Memo as carefully as I once did. I think he's performing an incredibly valuable service in devoting so much attention to the Social Security debates - but it's just not something that energizes me. Still I hope some people, including Democratic political operatives, are reading it, because it's a great source of information that could be drawn on to justifiably attack unprincipled Republicans in marginal districts in the next election cycle. For example, I really hope the party is going to try to find a strong candidate to oppose Chris Chocola in Indiana. And speaking of the unprincipled, of course another virtue of Marshall's writing is that he remains an amusing source of razor-sharp jabs at hypocrisy - like this post noting that the Club for Growth "bashes (Lindsey) Graham for considering raising taxes rather than being a principled conservative and just borrowing the money".
